EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of etched glass at the Boleyn Tavern in Upton Park, Greater London. The image captures a door leading to the saloon and billiard hall, adorned with exquisite French embossing and delicate glass etching. The Boleyn Tavern, constructed between 1899-1900 by architects W G Shoebridge and H W Rising, stands as a testament to Victorian architecture. Its historical significance is further emphasized by its Grade II listing. The photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind this stunning piece of artistry. The fine details etched onto the glass create an enchanting display that transports us back in time to an era when pubs were at the heart of community life. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping through that very door into a world filled with camaraderie and merriment. It serves as a reminder of how public houses have long been places where people gather to share stories, laughter, and good times. Simon Inglis has expertly captured not only the physical beauty but also the cultural significance of this unique architectural feature. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such masterpieces and their role in preserving our collective heritage. This print is more than just an aesthetically pleasing image; it is a visual tribute to history itself – a window into our past that deserves admiration for generations to come.
