If it burned down in the 1780's is this more of a fictional painting of what it would have looked like in the artists time? The men all look like they are dressed in the late 1800's fashion with the top hats.

Probably a recollection or based on some older drawing. I couldn't find any contemporary pictures of the Tun in a brief Google search.

Based on Frank Taylor's annotations on other pieces, we know he completed some of his work based on photographs or drawings, which he credits the original. I assume this is from a drawing, which unfortunately, he did not credit the original.
