EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Arbroath's Feeing Saturday, a tradition that dates back to the 19th century. The image, taken by an English photographer in the late 1800s, showcases a bustling fair atmosphere filled with servants and employers engaging in lively interactions. The scene is brimming with energy as people from all walks of life come together on this special day. Servants eagerly seek new employment opportunities while employers carefully assess potential candidates for their households. The fair serves as a platform for these individuals to negotiate terms and conditions before entering into service contracts. Intriguingly framed against the backdrop of Arbroath's picturesque streets, this photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. It transports us back to a time when feeing fairs were an integral part of Scottish culture, providing both economic opportunities and social connections. Preserved within a private collection, this print evokes nostalgia for simpler times while also shedding light on historical labor dynamics. Its inclusion in Pictorial Scotland and Ireland further emphasizes its significance as an illustrative documentation of cultural traditions. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured the spirit of this momentous occasion through their meticulous photography skills. This print stands as testament to their commitment to preserving history through visual storytelling.
