A huge banner on the right of the scene advertises a travelling theatre. A fashionably dressed young woman in a yellow jacket and white skirt strolls among the people selling fruit and other goods. The animals include a cow, and the fair seems to have been used as an opportunity to trade animals. The name on the signboard above the tent is probably the artist\'s signature;); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; Scottish, out of copyright.
