EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print showcases Elinour Rummin, a prominent figure in the ale industry during the early 17th century. Known as the Ale-wife of England, Elinour ran a bustling pub in Hogsdon, which is now modern-day Hoxton. The popularity of her Pimlico Ale was so immense that it led to the naming of an entire area after her - Pimlico. In this portrait, Elinour stands proudly amidst rows of barrels, exuding confidence and authority. Her animated expression and lively demeanor suggest a woman who knows how to captivate her patrons with both her ale and charismatic personality. This depiction may also be inspired by John Skelton's poem "The Tunning of Eleanor Rumming" where she is referred to as Eleanor Rumming. The woodcut captures the essence of Tudor and medieval times through its intricate detailing and rich textures. It serves as a testament to Elinour's significant role in shaping London's drinking culture during this era. Today, Elinour Rummin continues to be celebrated for her contributions to brewing history. A pub named after her still exists in southwest London, serving as a reminder of her legacy. This remarkable artwork not only immortalizes Elinour but also provides us with a glimpse into the vibrant world of taverns and alehouses from centuries past.
