EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and bustling street scene captured in a coloured lithograph titled "North Country Mails at The Peacock, Islington" by James Pollard takes us back to the 19th century. The image showcases the lively atmosphere of London's busy streets, filled with various modes of transportation and people going about their daily lives. In the foreground, we see a child standing beside a donkey-drawn coach, adding an element of charm to this urban setting. The child seems captivated by the commotion surrounding them as coaches pass by and horses trot along the road. A tavern called "The Peacock" stands prominently on one side, its doors open to welcome weary travelers seeking refreshment. The print captures the essence of travel during this era when mail delivery played a crucial role in connecting different regions. Coaches adorned with intricate designs carry mailbags while passengers eagerly await their arrival or departure from this bustling inn. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, a majestic peacock perches atop a post nearby, perhaps symbolizing both beauty and pride amidst this chaotic scene. James Pollard's skilful engraving brings life to every detail within this composition - from the architectural elements of buildings lining the street to each individual figure caught up in their own activities. This artwork serves as not only an exquisite historical record but also an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in 19th-century London's vibrant energy.
