EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trade card from the 19th century, featuring the Rifle Corps Stores. The engraving, created by F A Harwood and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Birmingham. The trade card proudly advertises London and Dublin Stout, Scotch and Burton Ales of unparalleled quality. It is evident that Pope, the proprietor of this esteemed establishment, spared no expense in ensuring only the finest beverages were offered to customers. Intriguingly, this image also sheds light on an important aspect of society during that time - the significance placed on military regiments. The presence of soldiers dressed in their distinctive uniforms adds an air of authority and respectability to this beer emporium. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes apparent that alcohol played a prominent role in social gatherings. Whether it was stouts or other types of booze being consumed within these walls or taken home for enjoyment later on, drinking was undoubtedly intertwined with everyday life. Through this remarkable photograph print by Bridgeman Images found on Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to an era where men frequented shops like Rifle Corps Stores for both their libation needs and a sense of camaraderie among fellow patrons.
