EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the lively atmosphere of Bartholomew Fair in 18th-century London, with Lee and Harper's theatre booth taking center stage. The fair, held annually since the 12th century, was a time of merriment and entertainment for the city's residents. In the print, we see a crowd of people gathered around the booth, eagerly watching a performance. The performers, dressed in colorful costumes, including Harlequin, engage the audience with their antics and humor. The scaffolding and platform of the booth provide a makeshift stage for their acts, which likely included acrobatics, juggling, and other feats of agility. The print also showcases the importance of literature in the entertainment industry during this time. A bookseller can be seen selling books to interested fairgoers, suggesting that the written word was an integral part of the fair experience. The presence of Lee and Harper's booth indicates that this was a popular and successful performance troupe. The company, which was active in London from the late 17th to the early 18th century, was known for its innovative and entertaining productions. Their booth at Bartholomew Fair would have been a must-see destination for fairgoers. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant and diverse world of entertainment in 18th-century London, where theatres like Lee and Harper's booth provided a platform for performers to captivate audiences and bring joy to the people.
