EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to 19th century London, specifically to the Old Ship Tavern in Water-Lane, Billingsgate. The intricately carved doorway depicted in this print is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. Every detail has been meticulously captured by the English School artist who created this piece. The Old Ship Tavern stands as a historical landmark, and its grand entranceway serves as a gateway into another era. The ornate carvings adorning the door frame are reminiscent of an opulent past, inviting us to imagine what stories lie within those walls. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear echoes of lively conversations and clinking glasses emanating from inside. This image offers a glimpse into bustling London life during the mid-19th century when taverns like these were gathering places for locals and travelers alike. Originally published in The Illustrated London News on June 13th, 1857, this engraving preserves not only the beauty of the Carved Doorway but also provides us with valuable insight into architectural history. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary elements such as doorways can hold immense cultural significance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have access to this remarkable snapshot from our past. Let it transport you back in time and allow your imagination to wander through that Carved Doorway into an era long gone but forever preserved in art.
