EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical scene from the early 20th century, showcasing an illustration for licensed houses and their management. The photograph depicts the public bar of the Dorset Arms at Withyham, providing a glimpse into the trade and business of pubs during that time. Intriguingly, the image highlights an important aspect of running a licensed establishment - the clear display of spirits' strength and price. As shown in this photograph, it was customary to prominently exhibit this information behind the bar for customers to see. The composition exudes a sense of nostalgia as we observe patrons gathered around the counter in conversation. It transports us back to an era when bars were bustling social hubs where people would gather after work or on weekends to unwind over drinks. This piece is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Illustration for Licensed Houses and their Management" edited by W Bently Capper in 1925. Its inclusion in this publication speaks volumes about its significance as a visual representation of how licensed premises operated during that period. As we delve into history through this evocative black-and-white image, we are reminded not only of our cultural heritage but also how certain aspects have evolved over time within society's favorite gathering places - pubs.
