EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Prospect of Whitby, a historic public house nestled along the picturesque River Thames in Greater London. With its origins dating back to 1520, this Tudor-era building was once infamous as the "Devils Tavern" attracting thieves and smugglers who sought refuge within its walls. However, in 1777, it underwent a transformation and emerged with a new name - the Prospect of Whitby. The image beautifully captures the exterior view of this charming inn, standing proudly against the backdrop of the river. The architectural details from both Tudor and Georgian eras are evident in its design, adding an air of timeless elegance to this centuries-old establishment. Photographed sometime between 1945 and 1965 by S W Rawlings, this print transports us back in time to witness a moment frozen in history. It invites us to imagine bustling wharves nearby where ships unloaded their cargo while locals gathered at this beloved watering hole for camaraderie and merriment. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates not only the physical beauty of one particular location but also tells stories of London's rich past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there will always be cherished remnants like these that connect us deeply with our heritage.
