EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th century print of The Star & Garter pub in Putney, London, located on the banks of the River Thames. Established in the late 17th century, this historic inn has been a beloved watering hole for weary travelers and locals alike for centuries. The Star & Garter, affectionately known as "The Garter," is steeped in history and tradition. The pub's name is believed to have originated from the Order of the Garter, the oldest and most prestigious chivalric order in the United Kingdom, which was founded by King George I in 1725. The Order's emblem, a garter with the motto "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense" (Shame on him who thinks evil of it), can be seen in the pub's logo and decor. This stunning print, captured in the late 1800s, showcases the pub's picturesque riverside location, with the Thames flowing gently in the foreground and the elegant architecture of Putney on the opposite bank. The Star & Garter's red-brick facade, adorned with ivy and wrought-iron signs, stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush green landscape. The pub's rich history is further reflected in the quaint details of the print, such as the horse-drawn carriages and the gentleman in a top hat and tails, who can be seen enjoying a drink on the pub's terrace. The Star & Garter has been a cherished part of Putney's community for over three centuries, and this print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of a pint by the river were enough to bring joy and contentment.
