Illustration to "Fred Holdersworth; or, Love and Pride", by Thomas Miller, 1850. 'The establishment of Abel Holdersworth, Esq., Wine-merchant, occupied the whole of the buildings in an old-fashioned court which had formerly belonged to some City Company, long since extinct...You need only to pass through the ample archway to convince yourself of the immense business carried on in those extensive premises, where clerks, coopers, cellarmen, carmen, carts, cranes, and horses were ever in motion; where you looked up at warehouses, and down at the spacious vaults, and threaded your way through ranks of ranged bottles, pipes, hogsheads, and quarter casks, hampers, hoops, and staves, along passages which seemed as intricate as the labyrinth of Lemnos'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
