Edwards’ etching of this old tavern captures a bit of the atmospheric conditions in London’s East End—smokestacks puffing smoke in a scene that could be set at twilight. The Vine Tavern was situated at 31 Mile End Road in East London. This pub, which was thought to have been in existence since the 17th century closed, and was demolished around 1911.
