EDITORS COMMENTS
The Swiss Cottage, a captivating illustration from The Sporting World in 1844, showcases the charm and character of this historic pub. This exquisite engraving by an anonymous English School artist captures the essence of the era with its intricate details and nostalgic ambiance. Once a bustling venue for races and bare-knuckle boxing matches, The Swiss Cottage was under the ownership of former boxer Frank Redmond during the 1840s. This unique combination of sporting events and traditional pub culture made it a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The exterior view depicted in this print reveals the architectural beauty of The Swiss Cottage. Its rustic charm is enhanced by its red-brick facade, inviting passersby to step inside and experience its warm hospitality. A pony and trap parked nearby adds to the picturesque scene, evoking images of leisurely countryside rides. This remarkable artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic appeal of The Swiss Cottage. As we admire this piece from our private collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also of its cultural importance as a hub for sports enthusiasts during that period.
