EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the Bampton Pony Fair from the early 1900s. The Edwardian era comes to life as you gaze upon the bustling scene filled with majestic horses and proud owners. The vintage lantern slide captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and tradition of this historic event.
The fair, held annually in Bampton, was a highlight for both locals and visitors alike. It was a place where farmers, traders, and horse enthusiasts would come together to buy, sell, and admire these magnificent Exmoor ponies. The atmosphere is palpable through the lens of this old Victorian photograph.
As you study each detail in the image – from the intricate harnesses to the well-groomed mane of each horse – you can't help but feel transported to a bygone era. The nostalgia evoked by this snapshot is undeniable, making it a cherished piece for any history buff or lover of equine culture.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has truly captured the essence of this timeless tradition with their expertly preserved image. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when community gatherings like pony fairs were at the heart of rural life.
