EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic sign board from the White Hart, an esteemed pub in Witley, Surrey. Created around 1750, this wooden sign has witnessed centuries of British history and culture. The White Hart pub itself dates back to the 16th century, making it a cherished landmark in the area. The sign was repainted in 1875 by renowned artists Birket Foster and Alfred Cooper, adding their artistic touch to its already rich heritage. The term "hart" refers to a stag or deer, hence the name "White Hart" which is commonly used for pubs across England. In this image captured from Thomas Burke's book "English Inns" we can admire the intricate craftsmanship of the sign. The golden chain adorning the majestic antlers adds an elegant touch to its rustic charm. The oil painting technique used on this wooden canvas brings out vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era when taverns like these were at the heart of social gatherings and community life. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich cultural history and provides us with a glimpse into how public houses played an integral role in society.
