EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 18th century print, we find Dolly, the renowned proprietress of the Chop House in Queen's Head Passage, London, taking a medicinal drop to ease her weary bones. Dolly's fame extended far beyond the confines of her establishment, making her a figure of historical significance in the annals of London's rich culinary and social history. The Chop House, located in a narrow passage off of Queen Victoria Street, was a popular gathering place for merchants, sailors, and other denizens of the city. Dolly, with her wily charm and warm hospitality, presided over her establishment with an iron fist and a kind heart. The Chop House was known for its hearty food and spirits, and Dolly herself was a formidable businesswoman who ran her establishment with efficiency and panache. This print captures Dolly in a moment of quiet reflection, as she pours herself a medicinal drop from a tankard. The century-old passageway behind her, with its dimly lit windows and cobblestone streets, adds to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds her. The image of Dolly, with her sturdy frame and no-nonsense expression, speaks to the resilience and determination of the women who ran the inns and taverns of London during this time. Despite the passage of centuries, Dolly's memory lives on, thanks to prints like this one that capture her spirit and her legacy. She remains a beloved figure in the history of London's food and drink scene, a testament to the enduring power of a good meal and a warm welcome. Whether you were a merchant seeking a hearty meal after a long day at the docks or a sailor looking for a place to rest your weary head, Dolly's Chop House was the place to be. And with a steaming plate of food and a tankard of spirits in hand, Dolly herself was the perfect hostess, ready to make even the roughest of seafarers feel at home.
