This print from 1899 showcases the bustling industry of distilling and transporting wine and spirits in London. The image features a majestic shire horse pulling a cart loaded with barrels of gin, spirits, and wine for J & W Nicholson & Co Distillers.

The skilled driver is seen guiding the horse with precision, holding a whip to ensure smooth progress along the cobblestone streets. The sight of this traditional mode of transport evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount in every aspect of production.
As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when London's streets were filled with the sights and sounds of commerce. The dedication and hard work required to keep up with demand for these beloved libations is evident in every detail captured by Mary Evans' lens.
