EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print titled "Whitsuntide Holidays" captures the essence of 18th-century celebrations in England. Published by Carington Bowles, a prominent figure in the art world during his time, this coloured line engraving showcases a scene filled with merriment and excitement. The focal point of the image is a bustling street where people from all walks of life come together to enjoy their holiday. A procession of beautifully adorned coaches can be seen making its way from Greenwich to Charing Cross, carrying passengers who are eager to partake in the festivities. The coaches exude an air of elegance and sophistication as they navigate through the crowded streets. Amidst the joyous atmosphere, we catch glimpses of various characters that add depth to this snapshot of society. A beggar sits on the side, contrasting sharply with well-dressed individuals inside the coaches. Some passengers appear slightly intoxicated, perhaps indulging in some liquid courage for their journey ahead. Intriguingly, soldiers are also present among the crowd, suggesting that even those serving duty find respite during these holidays. This print serves as a reminder that regardless of one's social status or profession, everyone comes together during Whitsuntide to celebrate and revel in each other's company. Transported back in time through this artwork, we witness not only a physical journey but also an emotional one – a collective escape from daily routines into moments filled with laughter and camaraderie. It is no wonder why coaching was
