Illustration to "Fred Holdersworth; or, Love and Pride", by Thomas Miller, 1850. The establishment of Abel Holdersworth, Esq. Wine-merchant, occupied the whole of the buildings in an old-fashioned court which had formerly belonged to some City Company, long since extinct...You need only to pass through the ample archway to convince yourself of the immense business carried on in those extensive premises, where clerks, coopers, cellarmen, carmen, carts, cranes, and horses were ever in motion; where you looked up at warehouses, and down at the spacious vaults, and threaded your way through ranks of ranged bottles, pipes, hogsheads, and quarter casks, hampers, hoops, and staves, along passages which seemed as intricate as the labyrinth of Lemnos'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Illustration to Fred Holdersworth; or, Love and Pride," was created by Thomas Miller in 1850. The image is a visual representation of Abel Holdersworth's wine-merchant establishment, which occupied an old-fashioned courtyard that once belonged to a defunct City Company. As you gaze upon this engraving from the Illustrated London News, you are transported back in time to the bustling heart of 19th century Britain. The archway leading into the courtyard is an impressive sight to behold, inviting you to explore the immense business being conducted within. The buildings, with their intricate architectural features, house a multitude of employees and equipment. Clerks, coopers, cellarmen, carmen, and horses are all in constant motion, while cranes and carts are a common sight. Looking up, you can see the vast warehouses, and down below, the spacious vaults. The labyrinthine passages wind through the complex, filled with ranged bottles, pipes, hogsheads, and quarter casks, hampers, hoops, and staves. The intricacy of the layout mirrors the complexity of the industrial processes taking place within. This engraving offers a glimpse into the urban, Victorian world of commerce and industry, where the hustle and bustle of daily life was a testament to the thriving economy of the time. Although the identity of the artist remains unknown, their work provides an invaluable record of the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history of Britain's industrial heritage.
