EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Easter Monday, 1820 - Epping Forest, Essex" captures a picturesque scene from the early 19th century. Created by the talented artist James Pollard, this artwork showcases a vibrant crowd of figures gathered at Buckhurst Hill in Epping Forest. The focal point of the image is a small deer being released from a cart, surrounded by an excited group of riders and hounds. The composition beautifully portrays the intersection between nature and human activity during Easter celebrations. The lush landscape of Epping Forest serves as an idyllic backdrop for this lively gathering. Horses and carriages dot the scene, emphasizing the importance of road transport during that era. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that religious traditions played a significant role in shaping social pastimes. Easter Monday was not only a day to commemorate Christianity but also an occasion for people to engage in recreational pursuits such as hunting. Pollard's use of color brings life to every detail within the frame – from men dressed in their finest attire to horses adorned with elegant harnesses. This aquatint print offers us a glimpse into 19th-century England when communities came together to celebrate religious holidays while indulging in outdoor sports and leisurely activities. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
