LONDON: FROST FAIR, 1684. A mesmerizing glimpse into the past, this print transports us to the heart of a bygone era. Taken from the middle of the frozen Thames River, it offers a breathtaking view of the Frost Fair that took place during the harsh winter of 1683-84. On one side stands London, its majestic architecture rising proudly against the wintry backdrop. On the other side lies Southwark, equally enchanting in its own right. Created by Jan Wyck through Indian ink over a black chalk sketch on February 4th, 1684, this artwork captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. The scene is alive with activity as people gather on the frozen river for entertainment and recreation amidst freezing temperatures. Carriages traverse along makeshift ice roads while carousels spin joyfully in celebration of this rare phenomenon. The fair showcases an array of attractions including tents where visitors seek warmth and respite from icy winds. Iceboats glide gracefully across the frozen surface while stairs lead adventurous souls down to explore further wonders below their feet. This extraordinary image serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in even the harshest conditions. It allows us to marvel at how our ancestors found solace and amusement amidst nature's icy embrace.
