Fulham Bridge Tavern
1872
Edwin Edwards captured a quiet, sun-drenched moment at the old Fulham Bridge in London in 1872, offering a perfect slice of Victorian realism. Notice the dramatic, zebra-striped shadows cast by the wooden railings across the road, pulling your eye straight through the covered gateway—likely a toll house or the tavern mentioned in the title. To the left, a sign proudly advertises an 'Inn Boat House,' hinting at the lively river trade of the Thames just out of frame. It's a charming record of a London landmark that has since been replaced by modern structures.
