EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Greenwich in the Season" takes us back to 1872 London, capturing a vibrant scene along the River Thames. The illustration is part of Gustave Dore's renowned work, "London, a Pilgrimage" and showcases the lively atmosphere surrounding Greenwich during this time. In the foreground, we see an exquisite riverside public house bustling with activity. Men and women dressed in elegant attire fill the balconies overlooking the cityscape, engaging in animated conversations and laughter. This gathering exudes a sense of high society as they enjoy each other's company on this special occasion. The significance of this event becomes apparent when we learn that it marks the conclusion of Parliament's session - known as the Whitebait Dinner. The ship tavern serves as a backdrop to this socializing hub, adding character to an already picturesque setting. Dore masterfully captures both architectural details and human interaction within his engravings. His attention to intricate elements allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into historic moments like these. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, it transports us back in time; reminding us of London's rich history and its ability to bring people together for celebration amidst stunning surroundings.
