EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic George and Vulture pub, located off Cornhill in the City of London. Renowned as the place where coffee was first introduced to London by a Turkish merchant in 1652, this iconic establishment holds great significance in British history. The image showcases the charming exterior of the pub, with its traditional sign proudly displayed above the entrance. The George and Vulture also holds literary importance, as it prominently features in Charles Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Papers". In fact, Dickens himself frequented this establishment and enjoyed its offerings. This photograph serves as a visual representation of an important setting from one of his beloved works. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. It was later featured as an illustration for "Wonderful London" by St John Adcock around 1930. The gravure-printed quality adds depth and texture to the composition. With its rich history, picturesque facade, and association with both coffee culture and literature, this photograph encapsulates a moment frozen in time. It offers viewers a glimpse into London's past while celebrating significant cultural landmarks that have stood the test of time.
