EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image captures a moment of respite for the hardworking employees of Barclay Perkins Brewery, as they take a break from their laborious tasks. The scene is beautifully depicted by Gustave Dore, renowned for his intricate engravings that bring stories to life. The workers are seen gathered around a large barrel, enjoying their well-deserved pause. Some sit on wooden crates while others lean against the barrels, all clad in aprons that bear witness to their trade. Smoke fills the air as pipes are lit and conversations flow freely among comrades. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of these brewery workers - individuals who played an integral role in quenching the thirsts of London's population during this era. It is evident that despite their arduous work, there is an air of camaraderie and ease amongst them. Through this print, we can almost taste the rich flavors and aromas emanating from those barrels - symbols of craftsmanship and dedication. It serves as a reminder that even amidst long hours and physical exertion, moments like these were cherished by those who found solace in each other's company. As we admire this historical piece captured by Stefano Bianchetti, let us raise our glasses to these unsung heroes whose efforts contributed to Britain's great brewing tradition.
