The White Hart, Bishopsgate Street: A Medieval Pub with a Rich History This copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith in 1800, presents a charming depiction of The White Hart pub on Bishopsgate Street in London. The image, based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing a historic establishment that can be traced back to at least 1246. The White Hart, a popular pub and inn, is nestled amidst a picturesque landscape. The scene is set against the backdrop of Rosamond's Pond, located within St. James's Park, which was a favorite recreational spot for Londoners during the 18th century. The lake, surrounded by lush greenery, adds a serene and idyllic touch to the image. The White Hart itself, rebuilt in 1480, stands proudly with its whitewashed walls and a hart's head emblem, symbolizing the pub's name. The architectural details of the pub, such as the timber-framed gables and the chimneys, exude an authentic medieval charm. The engraving, produced by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco, is a testament to the rich history and architectural significance of The White Hart. This historic pub, which has served travelers and locals for centuries, continues to be a cherished piece of London's heritage. The intricate details captured in this copperplate engraving provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the architectural and historical landscape of London during the late 18th century.
