EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming print capturing a party of people picnicking at the Henley Royal Regatta in 1888. The event, held annually on the River Thames near Henley-on-Thames, is a quintessentially British affair that dates back to the 19th century.
In this scene, rowers can be seen waving from their boats as they pass by the picnickers enjoying leisurely refreshments under parasols and trees along the riverbank. A gipsy fortune teller adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the gathering, providing alternative entertainment for the upper-class attendees.
The Victorian era comes to life in this snapshot of social history, with striped blazers and elaborate hampers setting the scene for a day of boating and relaxation. The middle-class servants attending to their masters add an interesting contrast to the scenes of opulence and luxury.
As you gaze upon this historical image, imagine yourself transported back to a time when picnics were grand affairs filled with food, drink, and good company. The air is filled with laughter and chatter as guests enjoy each other's company in this idyllic riverside setting. This print captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of leisure and elegance at one of Britain's most prestigious events.
