EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1902. The image showcases the iconic Cock Tavern, a beloved public house that once stood proudly on Fleet Street. Although its doors have long been closed and the building demolished, this snapshot allows us to glimpse into a bygone era. The doorway of the Cock Tavern is adorned with an intricately designed sign featuring a majestic rooster, symbolizing strength and pride. A lantern hanging above casts a warm glow, inviting passersby to step inside and experience the lively atmosphere within. Fleet Street itself comes alive in this photograph, with people strolling along its avenue and horse-drawn carriages passing by. The monochrome tones add depth to the scene, emphasizing both the architectural beauty of surrounding buildings and the character-filled cobblestone road. Published in "The English Illustrated Magazine" in 1902, this image captures not only a specific location but also represents an entire era - one filled with charm, tradition, and community spirit. It serves as a reminder of how our cities have evolved over time while preserving glimpses of their rich history. As we admire this remarkable piece from Thomas Fisher Unwin's collection at The Print Collector, we are reminded of how photography can transport us through time and connect us to moments long gone.
