EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Meuxs Brewhouse, a prominent brewery in Liquor-pond Street, Clerkenwell, London. Built around 1796, this architectural gem stood as a testament to the thriving brewing industry of eighteenth-century Britain. The image captures the essence of a bygone era with its towering chimneys billowing smoke into the sky. The photograph is an engraving from Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century" published by A. & C. Black Ltd. in 1925. It offers us a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of Islington during that time period. The Meux Brewery Company was renowned for its production of beer and porter, which were highly sought after beverages in those days. This particular brewhouse played a significant role in local industry and contributed to London's rich cultural heritage. The print expertly frames the building's exterior facade, highlighting its grandeur against an urban landscape backdrop. Its rooftop stands proudly adorned with intricate details while horses trot along Tottenham Court Road nearby. Although created by an unknown artist, this photograph transports us back to both the 18th century when it was built and early 20th century when it was captured on film. It serves as a visual reminder of London's vibrant history and reminds us of how architecture can tell stories that span centuries.
