Légende

'A Frost Fair on the Thames at Temple Stairs', c1684. This fair, one of several built on the frozen Thames during severe winters, was exceptional in that it lasted from December 1683 until 4th February 1684. The booths stretch from Temple Stairs to Old King's Barge-House. In the foreground is a large hole in the ice, with stalls behind, and people going for rides in a wheeled boat. Other amusements include nine-pins and sledging. There are even coaches and horses.
