EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eccentric Characters of Newcastle" transports viewers back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Groat Market in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Painted by Henry Perlee Parker, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures a unique moment in time within the kitchen of the renowned Flying Horse pub. The scene is filled with an eclectic group of individuals who were regulars at this bustling establishment. On the left stands Judy Dowling, known as Keeper of the Town Hutch, leaning on her trusty walking stick. Seated at the forefront is Blind Willie, a talented violinist whose music undoubtedly added to the lively ambiance. Each person depicted in this painting has their own story and role within Newcastle's social fabric. The beggars, street-sellers, and entertainers that frequented this pub are immortalized through Parker's brushstrokes. Their presence is further emphasized by their inclusion in a popular North-East song called "Hell's Kitchen". This particular print is a copy of Parker's original artwork which now resides in a private collection. It was once owned by Charles Brandling, a local MP who recognized its historical significance. With its rich detail and Victorian charm, this image serves as both an artistic treasure and an invaluable glimpse into 19th-century life in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
