All the Fun of the Fair

I have a huge talent for time wasting and one of my favourite methods of doing so is looking at auction catalogues. In that context I browsed through this one yesterday and was struck by the exuberance of the objects. I can't think where I would put a fairground horse but I have the idea that glimpsing one around the place would always be cheering - even though I am fully aware that no actual horse ever has their legs in that position when galloping.

  






I love the use of the word "important" in auctioneers' catalogues - to whom? In which circles?
