EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in 1830, where we are presented with an exterior view of the renowned Washington Tavern. Formerly known as the Falstaff Inn, this historic public house at 6th and Jayne has witnessed decades of revelry and merriment since its opening in 1790. The name change was a nod to Mr Warren, the owner who had made quite a name for himself with his unforgettable portrayal of Falstaff at the Chestnut Street Theatre. As we gaze upon this image captured by Peg Roy, we can almost imagine the lively atmosphere that once filled these walls. The building itself stands proudly adorned with a charming awning and eye-catching signage that invites passersby to step inside. A horse tied up nearby indicates that weary travelers would often seek respite within these very walls. Intriguingly, this establishment served not only as a tavern but also as a watering hole for locals seeking good food, drinks, and company. It was undoubtedly a hub of social activity in colonial American society. As we delve into this remarkable illustration from American history, it becomes clear why prints like these hold such significance. They provide us with glimpses into our past - snapshots frozen in time that allow us to appreciate the rich tapestry woven by those who came before us.
