EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century Stepney, London with this watercolour print by artist John Crowther. The scene captures the charming exterior of the Crooked Billet Inn, a popular public house located on King Street. As you gaze upon this vibrant artwork, your eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details that bring this historic building to life. The warm hues and delicate brushstrokes transport you to a bygone era, where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone roads and locals gathered at their favorite watering holes. The Crooked Billet Inn stands proudly amidst its surroundings, showcasing quintessential Victorian architecture with its ornate facade and towering chimney stacks. Its inviting presence beckons passersby to step inside and experience the lively atmosphere within. This piece not only offers a glimpse into London's rich history but also serves as a testament to Crowther's artistic talent in capturing the essence of everyday life during this period. Preserved for over a century, it now resides within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery as an invaluable artifact of British heritage. Allow yourself to be transported back in time as you admire this remarkable depiction of Stepney's East End - an enduring reminder of our country's colorful past.
