EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and jubilation of the Celebration of the Thousandth Anniversary of the Foundation of Ripon, Yorkshire. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a momentous occasion in Ripon's history. The image transports us back to September 4,1886, when Ripon was adorned with decorations and filled with joyous crowds. Street scenes come alive as people gather around an old basket shop, eagerly awaiting the festivities to commence. The mayor and bishop stand proudly amidst the throng, addressing their fellow citizens. Intricate architecture is showcased throughout this scene; from Fountains Abbey to Fountains Hall, each structure adds a touch of historical charm. Ruins serve as a reminder of Ripon's rich past while also symbolizing resilience and endurance. A torchlight procession illuminates the market square as Mr. M Landon leads the way. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as residents revel in this milestone anniversary celebration. Amidst all this merriment stands an old country farmer - a testament to Ripon's agricultural roots and its connection to its heritage. This print encapsulates not only a thousand years' worth of history but also highlights how anniversaries can bring communities together in unity and celebration. It serves as a poignant reminder that traditions are meant to be cherished and preserved for generations to come.
