    This charming early 20th-century English School oil painting depicts the Cannon Brewery at North End, Fulham, owned by John Lovibond & Sons Ltd.

    Founded in 1867, the brewery was built in the grounds of its founder’s house, the experienced ‘maltster’, Henry Lovibond. From left to right, it comprised a copper house, the brew house tower, with a liquor tank, and a fermenting house. As we see here, leading up to the brewery was a track for steam locomotives - convenient for loading outside of the building.

    In 1901, it was acquired by John Lovibond & Sons Ltd, and it’s conceivable that this piece was commissioned to mark its new ownership. Unfortunately, it was wound up in 1909 and the building became a depot and pie factory. 
     
    Stylistically, the work was probably produced by a local artist. With its combination of striking linear perspective and naively drawn figures, it’s a little ‘Lowry-esque’.

    Held in a later frame.
