EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1897, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London, England, specifically to the King and Tinker Inn. The image showcases the inn's charming exterior, adorned with a quaint sign and a horse and carriage parked out front. The horse, harnessed and ready to go, adds a sense of movement and activity to the scene. A lantern hanging above the entrance casts a warm glow over the cobblestone street, illuminating the way for weary travelers. The King and Tinker Inn, located in London, was a popular establishment during the late 19th century. The name "Tinker" is believed to have originated from the innkeepers who would mend pots and pans for their guests. The horse and carriage outside the inn suggest that this was a place where travelers could hire transportation to explore the city or venture further afield. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, titled "Round about London," and is a rare glimpse into the past. The image offers a window into the daily life of Londoners during this era, showcasing the horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, and traditional English architecture. The King and Tinker Inn stands as a testament to the rich history and character of London, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
