EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases an inn sign from the renowned Boars Head Tavern, located in Eastcheap, a vibrant district within the City of London. Despite its anonymous nature, this engraving by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd beautifully captures the essence of this historical establishment. The intricately designed sign features a majestic boar's head with impressive tusks, symbolizing strength and resilience. Positioned against a backdrop of charming buildings and narrow lanes, it serves as a beacon for weary travelers seeking refuge or locals looking for merriment. As we delve into the details of this monochrome masterpiece, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling down that very avenue. The sign stands proudly above the tavern entrance, enticing passersby with promises of warmth and conviviality inside its walls. This photograph is not only a testament to Shepherd's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. It reminds us of how advertising was once conveyed through handcrafted works like these rather than flashy billboards or digital screens. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image invites us to explore history through artistry while celebrating one small piece in the tapestry that is London's rich cultural heritage.
