EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Southwark, London in 1880. The focal point is The Queens Head Inn, a charming British building that stands proudly on Borough High Street. Its vibrant colors and exquisite architectural details showcase the beauty of 19th-century England. In this snapshot of history, we witness a slice of daily life as a man stands outside the inn, seemingly engaged in conversation with another customer passing by. The busy road and sidewalk are filled with people going about their trade and business, creating an atmosphere full of energy and activity. The watercolor technique used to capture this moment adds a touch of artistry to the photograph. It transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the physical surroundings but also the artistic talent behind its creation. Preserved by John Crowther's lens, this image now resides at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for all to admire. It serves as a reminder of how much London has evolved over time while still retaining its rich heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, it sparks curiosity about what stories lie within those walls and what tales these streets could tell if they could speak.
