EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of London in 1872 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene captures a moment before the bar, showcasing a London pub that replaced the old gin-palace.
In this historical snapshot, we see a group of people gathered outside the pub, indulging in drinks and food. The atmosphere is lively yet tinged with poverty, as evidenced by the worn clothing and tired expressions on some faces. Children can be seen playing nearby, adding an element of innocence to an otherwise gritty scene.
This image provides a glimpse into a bygone era when pubs were more than just places to drink - they were social hubs where communities came together to unwind and connect. The architecture of the building itself reflects the changing times, as newer establishments began to replace older gin-palaces.
As you study this print closely, you can almost hear the chatter and laughter emanating from within the walls of this London pub. It serves as a reminder of how history shapes our present-day experiences and offers insight into what life was like for those living in slums during this period.
Immerse yourself in this rich tapestry of scenes from Victorian London and let your imagination wander through time with Mary Evans Prints Online.
