EDITORS COMMENTS
A Spectacular Sight: Dunvilles Whisky Wagons Traverse the Streets of London, 1911 This evocative photograph captures a remarkable scene as an impressive convoy of Dunvilles whisky wagons makes its way through the bustling streets of London. The large number of wagons, heavily laden with cases of Dunvilles world-famed V.R. whisky, are en route from St. Katherines Dock to Dunvilles London headquarters in Shaftesbury Avenue. The shipment, consisting of an impressive 3,000 cases or approximately 36,000 bottles, was shipped all the way from the Royal Irish Distilleries of Dunville and Company in Belfast to meet the ever-increasing demand for this esteemed brand. The image presents a striking contrast between the traditional horse-drawn wagons and the modern urban landscape of London. The horses, with their powerful muscles straining against the ropes, appear determined to transport the precious cargo to its destination. The wagons, adorned with the distinctive Dunvilles logo, carry the weight of the whiskey cases with an air of importance and prestige. The arrival of these whisky wagons in London signified the successful completion of a long and arduous journey from the distillery in Belfast. The whiskey, aged to perfection in oak barrels, was carefully loaded onto ships and transported across the Irish Sea to meet the insatiable appetite for Dunvilles V.R. whisky in the British capital. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of whiskey production and trade in Ireland and the United Kingdom during the early 20th century.
