Description: | George Charlton's watercolour depicts the traditional bank holiday fair at the Vale of Health on Hampstead Heath. This was one of London's largest and most popular fairs.
The building in the background is the original Vale of Health Hotel. It was demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a block of flats.
London-born Charlton made his name in the 1920s. He taught at the Slade and married one of his students, Daphne, who also became the mistress of Stanley Spencer and the subject of many of Spencer's intimate portraits. The Charltons lived in Hampstead. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | Environment Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1934 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
