A RARE, LATE CHARLES II "FROST FAIR" SOUVENIR LACEBACK TREFID SPOON, scratched with the initials "EW" on the terminal & inscribed "This Spoon was bought upon the Frozen Thames* January:28:1683/4", maker's mark "PL" (script monogram) within a wavy-edged square punch, London 1683; 7.75" (19.6 cms) long; 1.84 oz *J.H. BRAZELL, (1698), London Weather notes:- "Eight frost fairs were held on the Thames between 1607 and 1814; the first recorded frost fair was in the winter of 1607/08. The frost commenced in mid December, and by 10 to 15 January the ice between Lambeth and Westminster was firm and thick enough to allow a large number of people to walk on it in perfect safety. Booths were set up for the sale of fruit, food, beer and wine and shoemakers and barbers plied their trade on the ice, such as bowling, shooting and dancing. During the winter of 1683/84 the frost lasted from December to early February but the fair was confined to the second half of January. The ice was thick and firm, and the number of shops, booths and people on the frozen river made it appear like another city. The booths, which sold all sorts of goods and merchandise and covered a variety of trades, were arranged in formal streets from the Temple to Southwark. A printing press was set up on the ice and the practice of having their names printed with the date and the phrase "printed on the Thames" became so popular with the people that the printer made a small fortune.......... People indulged in practically every sport including dancing, skating, sledging, bull-bating, bear baiting, fox-hunting, football and skittles.....King Charles II and his family visited the frost fair and had their names printed on a quarto sheet of Dufra paper by "G Groom on the ICE on the River Thames January 31st 1684"
