EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken circa 1910, a barman stands proudly by a well-stocked bar, exuding an air of expertise and hospitality. The bar, adorned with an array of bottles and glasses, shines brightly, reflecting the warm glow of the establishment's inviting interior. The barman, dressed in a pristine white apron and crisp shirt, wears a confident expression as he awaits the next customer. The cash register atop the bar catches the eye, its gleaming surface displaying an advertisement for Bass & Co Barley Wine, a popular beverage of the era. Below the register, packets of Capstan cigarettes are neatly arranged, their distinctive red and gold labels adding a touch of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The barman's shoulders are broad and strong, suggesting the physical demands of his profession. His arms are folded across his chest, creating a sense of stability and reassurance. The bar itself, with its polished wood surface and intricate carvings, exudes an aura of history and tradition. The barman's bar is a place of refuge and camaraderie, where men gather to unwind and share stories. The air is filled with the aroma of alcohol, mingling with the scent of tobacco from the cigarettes. Maltona, tonic, rum, special, whisky, and whiskey are just some of the drinks that can be found behind the bar, ready to be poured into glasses for thirsty patrons. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the pub was the heart of the community, and the barman was a respected and essential figure. The bright, shiny, clean bar and its well-stocked shelves are a testament to the pride and care that went into running such an establishment.
