EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene of the Horse Sale at Barnet Fair in 1949. The Bernet Fair Horse Sales were notorious for featuring many unbroken horses, and as soon as a halter was placed on their necks, they would rear up in fear. Fearless horse dealers can be seen driving amongst the wild horses, skillfully lassoing one that shows potential for a prospective customer. The atmosphere at Barnet Fair is usually characterized by rain and mud, but this particular year was different. The ground was bone hard, creating clouds of dust that engulfed everyone present. Despite these challenging conditions, both buyers and sellers persevered to make their transactions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the traditions surrounding horse sales in the 1940s. Men from all walks of life gather around the sales ring, eagerly observing each transaction with great interest. It serves as a reminder of how integral horses were to daily life during this era. Memory Lane Prints presents this historical image without any commercial intentions; rather it aims to preserve moments like these that are deeply rooted in our collective memory.
