EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1868. The focal point is none other than "The Tiger Tavern, Tower Dock" a historic British pub that exudes charm and character. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are drawn to a horse-drawn wagon passing by, its wheels clattering against the cobblestone road. A man can be seen pushing a handcart nearby, adding to the lively atmosphere of this vibrant city. The architecture of The Tiger Tavern stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its exterior showcases intricate details and hints at the rich history contained within its walls. This watercolour print beautifully captures not only the physical structure but also provides insight into daily life during this era. Located near Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this public house served as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Men can be seen outside, engaging in conversation or perhaps enjoying their favorite pint after a long day's work. Transportation was an essential aspect of London life in 1868, evident from both the horse-drawn wagon and wheelbarrow present in this scene. These modes of transport were vital for moving goods throughout the city's busy streets. Thanks to J. T Wilson's skilled brushstrokes, we are transported back in time to experience a glimpse of Victorian England through his vivid depiction of The Tiger Tavern and its surrounding environment.
