EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print showcases the charming Duke of Cambridge Tavern, located in Shoe Lane, City of London, around 1840. The artist, James Findlay, skillfully captures the essence of this bustling 19th-century British pub. The painting transports us back in time to a vibrant avenue filled with colorful buildings and lively activity. The Duke of Cambridge Tavern stands proudly amidst its surroundings, exuding an air of history and tradition. Its exterior is meticulously detailed by Findlay's brushstrokes; every brick seems to tell a story. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost imagine the sounds and smells that would have permeated the street outside the tavern. Passersby would have been drawn to its inviting atmosphere—a place where locals gathered for pints of ale or hearty meals after a long day's work. Findlay's use of color adds depth and warmth to the scene—shades of reds and browns dominate the composition while hints of green foliage peek through nearby windowsills. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery archives today, this watercolour offers us a glimpse into both English architectural heritage and social life during that era. It serves as a reminder that even though centuries may pass, some places retain their charm throughout time—an enduring testament to our shared cultural past.
