EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a customer sits alone in the dimly lit Browns Hotel bar, nestled in the quaint Welsh town of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. The worn, red velvet chair creaks softly as the customer cradles a glass of amber liquid, lost in thought. The room is filled with the warm, heady aroma of malted barley and the low hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional clink of glasses. Browns Hotel, located on King Street, has a rich literary history, having once been a favorite haunt of the renowned Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas. Thomas, known for his poetic masterpieces and his affinity for the bottle, spent many an evening in this very pub, penning verses and imbibing in the local ale. The shed and boathouse nearby, where Thomas famously wrote some of his most celebrated works, including "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," are just a stone's throw away. As the customer gazes into the depths of their drink, one can almost hear the ghost of Dylan Thomas himself, reciting his poetry aloud, the words echoing through the centuries. The room, with its worn, wooden walls and flickering candlelight, seems to beckon visitors to come and immerse themselves in the rich literary history of this enchanting town. This photograph, taken in 1988, captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of a well-crafted drink and the company of one's thoughts could provide solace and inspiration. The customer, much like Dylan Thomas before them, is lost in the moment, surrounded by the history and charm of Browns Hotel in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales.
