EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London, specifically to The Cock and Magpie Public House on Drury Lane in Westminster. This historic building holds a special place in British history as it is rumored that the renowned actress Nell Gwynne once resided here. The image showcases the exterior of this charming tavern, with its distinct 17th-century architecture standing proudly amidst the cityscape. Its monochrome hues add a timeless quality, allowing us to imagine what life was like during that era. The Cock and Magpie Public House served as a popular gathering spot for locals and travelers alike. It witnessed countless conversations, laughter, and perhaps even some secret rendezvous over pints of ale or glasses of wine. Samuel Rawle's engraving perfectly captures the essence of this vibrant establishment. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we can't help but feel transported to another time. It serves as a reminder of London's rich cultural heritage and how buildings like these have shaped the city throughout centuries. Whether you're an admirer of architectural marvels or fascinated by historical tales, this image offers a glimpse into both Britain's past and Nell Gwynne's intriguing connection to The Cock and Magpie Public House.
