EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print showcases intricate views and elevations of an ingenious beer pump machine, skillfully crafted and meticulously detailed in a copperplate engraving by Mutlow after an illustration by J. Farey Jr. The machine, a marvel of engineering, is depicted with an elegant cabinet housing the essential components for drawing and dispensing ale or beer. The central focus of the machine is the pump itself, with distinct levers and taps integrated into its design. The levers, carefully positioned, facilitate the drawing of beer from the cask, while the taps control the flow to the serving vessel. A network of pipes, intricately woven throughout the machine, ensures the smooth transfer of the beverage from the cask to the tap and ultimately to the eagerly awaiting patrons. The machine, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the 18th century, would have been a prized possession in any pub, tavern, or bar. Its sleek design and practical functionality would have streamlined the beer-serving process, allowing for a more efficient and enjoyable experience for both the publican and their customers. This print is taken from John Mason Good's Pantologia, a New Encyclopedia, published by G. Kearsley in London in 1813. The encyclopedia, a comprehensive collection of knowledge, showcased various aspects of science, art, and industry, making this beer pump machine an intriguing addition to its pages.
