Brewers Men, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the world of brewing in 19th century London. The image, captured by renowned artist Gustave Doré, showcases a group of hardworking brewers taking a well-deserved break at Barclay, Perkins and Company brewery in Park Street, Southwark. In this historic scene, the men are seen dressed in traditional clothing for their occupation - aprons and work clothes stained with the signs of their labor. With barrels as their backdrop, they gather together to rest and socialize amidst the bustling brewery environment. Some lean on mallets while others enjoy a momentary respite from their job by smoking pipes. Doré's masterful engraving skillfully captures not only the physicality of these workers but also hints at the social class distinctions prevalent during that era. Their tired yet determined expressions reflect both pride in their profession and an understanding of its importance to Britain's thriving brewing industry. This evocative print is part of "London: A Pilgrimage" an iconic book collaboration between Gustave Doré and Blanchard Jerrold that aimed to document various aspects of life in Victorian London. Through his artistry, Doré transports us back to a time when breweries like Barclay, Perkins and Company played an integral role in shaping England's cultural fabric. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images collection today, we can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship behind it while contemplating how much has changed since those days when men like these were instrumental in quenching Britain's thirst for beer.
