Description: | In the centre of the picture, an officer is seated on his horse holding a tankard of beer. The inn behind him advertises that it supplies stabling for horses. On the left are two delivery boys pulling a cart. A lady stands looking into the windows of Whinfield & Co. Hong Kong Tea Establishment on the right. Good quality tea was a luxury item in the mid 19th century. Despite some confusion over the signature, the artist is probably William Henry Knowles. Knowles was a Newcastle architect who painted in his spare time. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | William Henry Knowles (attr) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
