This print captures a momentous occasion that took place in Worsley, England. Lord Francis Egerton envisioned this event as an opportunity for widespread enjoyment and merriment. The festivities extended both indoors and outdoors, with thousands of tenants, dependants, workpeople, and officers from various coalpits joining in on the revelry. The heart of the celebration was centered around a magnificent pavilion or marquee located near the Bridgewater Canal and warehouses. As you gaze upon this black-and-white image, you can almost feel the excitement that filled the air during this joyous affair. The pavilion stands proudly adorned with vibrant union jacks, British ensigns, flags fluttering in every direction.
