EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a vibrant Scottish fair in the year 1834. Painted by Alexander Fraser Snr, this oil on panel artwork beautifully captures the essence of a bustling market square in Scotland during the 19th century. The McManus gallery in Dundee proudly displays this masterpiece, showcasing its rich history and cultural significance. The scene comes alive with an array of market stalls, columns, and buildings that create a lively atmosphere. One can almost hear the chatter of vendors and smell the aroma of freshly cooked food wafting through the air. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every aspect of this busy fair. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we are transported to a time when fairs were not just places for commerce but also social gatherings where people from all walks of life came together. It offers a glimpse into everyday life in Scottish towns and villages during that era. Fraser's work reminds us of the importance these markets held within communities - they were more than just places to buy goods; they were central meeting points where stories were shared and connections forged. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve it through art.
