EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Queens Head Inn in Southwark, London, circa 1881. Taken by Henry Dixon as part of a series documenting endangered buildings in Old London, this image showcases the inn's impressive facade and unique architectural features. The Queens Head Inn was once a bustling coaching inn until the late 19th century. Its grandeur is evident in the galleried exterior and ornate balustrades that adorn its courtyard. The photograph provides a glimpse into the vibrant urban life of Victorian-era Southwark. Intriguingly, this particular image also highlights female presence within this male-dominated space. A woman can be seen standing near the entrance passage, adding an interesting dynamic to the composition. Dixon's photography skillfully captures both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty of this guest house turned inn. The monochromatic tones lend a timeless quality to the scene while emphasizing intricate architectural details. Published between 1875-87 by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, these images aimed to document buildings at risk of demolition due to rapid urban development. This print serves as a valuable record of Southwark's past and stands as a testament to Dixon's contribution in preserving London's architectural heritage through his lens.
