EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Bits of Old London, the White Horse Tavern, Fetter Lane, shortly to be pulled down" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases the iconic White Horse Tavern standing proudly amidst a labyrinthine network of narrow alleyways and historic architecture. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the echoes of lively conversations and clinking glasses that once filled these now-vanished streets. The artist Herbert Railton masterfully captures every intricate detail of this enchanting scene; from the ornate facades adorning neighboring buildings to the cobblestone courtyard leading up to the tavern's entrance. It is bittersweet to know that this picturesque corner of old London was on the brink of destruction when Railton immortalized it in his work. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of our ever-changing urban landscapes but also our duty to preserve and celebrate our cultural heritage. Displayed within private collections today, this print continues to transport viewers back in time with its rich historical narrative. It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over centuries while urging us never to forget their pasts. Through Railton's artistry and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are granted a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever etched into our collective memory.
