EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Inner Workings of Barclay, Perkins and Co. Brewery, Southwark, London (1841) 2.. This cross-sectional print, dated 1841, offers a unique and intriguing look into the inner workings of the Barclay, Perkins and Co. Brewery located in Southwark, London during the Victorian era. The intricate details showcase the various stages of the brewing process, from the initial malt storage to the final copper vessels where the beer is boiled with hops. 3. Setting the Scene: The 1840s were a time of significant industrial growth in England, and the brewing industry was no exception. This print provides a snapshot of the innovative manufacturing processes that were being employed during this period. The Barclay, Perkins and Co. Brewery, established in 1799, was one of the leading breweries in London at the time. 4. The Brewing Process: The image reveals a malt case where the malted barley is stored, followed by the mash tun where the malt is mixed with hot water to create a sweet liquid called wort. The wort is then transferred to the copper vessels, where it is boiled with hops to add flavor and preservation properties. The final product, beer, is then cooled and stored in barrels for aging. 5. Industrial Marvel: This print is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work that went into the brewing process during the Victorian era. The intricate machinery and meticulous attention to detail required to produce high-quality beer on a large scale are evident in this image. The Barclay, Perkins and Co. Brewery was a marvel of industrial manufacturing, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of this iconic London institution.
