EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kennington, from the Green, 1780" takes us back to a bygone era in the village of Kennington, now part of south London. The image showcases a bustling scene outside a traditional tavern, where a dray-horse and cart stand proudly with beer barrels ready for delivery. The architectural charm of the buildings surrounding the pub adds to the picturesque countryside setting. The photograph is an extract from Edward Walford's book "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places". Published in 1878 by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. , this volume offers readers an insight into the rich history and heritage of various locations across London. Transportation played a vital role during this time period as horse-drawn vehicles like these were commonly used for delivering goods. The horses' strength and elegance are evident in their presence within this snapshot. This image serves as a reminder of how different life was in nineteenth-century Britain compared to our modern world. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by an unknown creator, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance. It transports us back to simpler times when village pubs served as social hubs for locals seeking refreshment after a hard day's work. This print truly encapsulates both the beauty of Kennington's landscape and its cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences today.
