EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fete at Horseydown in c. 1590" takes us back to the vibrant and joyous celebrations of 16th-century England. The image, measuring 19.5x23.8 cm, is part of the Croydon Art Collection housed in the Museum of Croydon, UK. The scene depicts a lively fête filled with merriment and revelry. In this Elizabethan era gathering, we witness a harmonious blend of townsfolk from all walks of life coming together to celebrate an occasion – perhaps a wedding or another momentous event. The tower of London looms majestically in the background, reminding us that even amidst festivities, history and tradition are ever-present influences on society. Horsleydown village provides a picturesque setting for this jubilant affair as villagers gather around horses grazing peacefully nearby. The artist behind this masterpiece is Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1600), while Grignon skillfully drew it before Dr. Diamond captured its essence through photography. The intricate details were then brought to life by J. H LeKeux's masterful engravings. Reproduced from a picture at Hatfield House for the Surrey Archaeological Society, this print offers us a glimpse into Tudor-era customs and traditions that have shaped our cultural heritage today. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to
