EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the historic Old Ship Inn, believed to have been Prince Rupert's headquarters. The image showcases the inn's grandeur and charm, with its timber-framed facade standing proudly against the backdrop of an early 19th-century Birmingham street. The Old Ship Inn holds a significant place in history as it is said to have played a crucial role during Prince Rupert's stay. As we gaze at this print, we can imagine the hustle and bustle that once filled these streets, with soldiers coming and going from this very establishment. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched into the paper seems to tell a story of its own. The artist has skillfully captured not only the architectural beauty of the inn but also its historical importance. This particular print was featured in Robert K Dent's book "Old and New Birmingham" published around 1880. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we are now able to appreciate this image in all its glory. As we delve into our past through art like this, it serves as a reminder of how our cities have evolved over time while preserving their rich heritage. This engraving allows us a glimpse into Birmingham's early history and offers us an opportunity to connect with our roots.
