EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Southwark, London in 1880. The focal point is none other than The Bricklayers Arms Inn, a charming establishment that stood proudly on Old Kent Road. Artist John Crowther skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant era with his watercolour masterpiece. The inn itself stands tall and majestic amidst its surroundings, showcasing intricate brickwork and architectural details typical of Victorian Britain. Its colorful facade adds a touch of vibrancy to an otherwise grey street scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages trotted along the road and gentlemen donned top hats while strolling by. Crowther's attention to detail extends beyond the building itself; he masterfully depicts various characters populating the scene. A group of men gather outside the inn, engaged in animated conversation as they enjoy their pints or perhaps discuss matters of great importance. Their presence adds life and authenticity to this snapshot from history. Thanks to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate Crowther's talent today. This print serves as a window into 19th-century England - a country brimming with culture, tradition, and an undeniable sense of community found within establishments like The Bricklayers Arms Inn on Old Kent Road.
