EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Terry Parker, titled "Advert, Georges Bristol Beers," transports us back in time to an era when beer was a labor-intensive and community-centered process. The image features a draft horse, its powerful muscles rippling as it pulls a dray, or wagon, filled with barrels of Georges Bristol Beers. The red and white barrels, adorned with intricate playing card designs, are carefully stacked and secured, ready for delivery to local taverns and establishments. The horse, with its proud and determined expression, seems to understand the importance of its role in bringing the refreshing beverage to thirsty patrons. The scene is set against a backdrop of cobblestone streets and old brick buildings, adding to the authenticity of the moment. The design on the barrels, with their ornate playing card motifs, speaks to the creativity and attention to detail that went into every aspect of the brewing process. It's a reminder that even the most mundane tasks, like transporting beer, could be elevated with a touch of artistry. The photograph also highlights the social aspect of beer drinking in the past. Beer was not just a beverage, but a shared experience that brought people together. The horse and dray were integral parts of that community, connecting breweries with their customers and fostering a sense of camaraderie. Overall, Terry Parker's "Advert, Georges Bristol Beers" is a beautiful and evocative snapshot of a bygone era, one that invites us to appreciate the history and tradition behind the simple pleasure of a cold beer.
