EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic tavern card from the 1790s, featuring the renowned John Shaw. The creator of this intriguing piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The image transports us back to the vibrant streets of 18th century Britain, specifically Cirencester in Gloucestershire, England. It captures a bustling coaching inn with its charming architecture and courtyard filled with activity. This establishment was none other than the famous Ram Inn, known for its role in road transport during that era. Etched with precision and attention to detail, this trade card served as an advertisement for John Shaw's tavern. Its purpose was to entice travelers passing through town to experience the warm hospitality and lively atmosphere within its walls. The artwork on this card is reminiscent of William Hogarth's style, although it cannot be definitively attributed to him. The etching features various elements such as sheep grazing peacefully nearby while a majestic ram stands proudly in front of the inn—a symbol of strength and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact from our past, we are reminded of how advertising has evolved over time but still retains its power to captivate audiences even centuries later. This photograph serves as a testament to our rich heritage and offers a glimpse into life during one of Britain's most fascinating periods—the 18th century.
