EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting titled "The Royal Mail in Deep Snow" artist Samuel Henry Alken transports us to a wintry scene filled with nostalgia and adventure. The image showcases a stormy day, where the postal service braves the elements to deliver mail amidst heavy snowfall. A beautifully composed composition, the focus is on a majestic coach pulled by sturdy horses making its way through the treacherous terrain. The sheer determination of both man and beast is evident as they battle against nature's forces. The contrast between the vibrant red of the coach against the pure white snow creates an eye-catching visual spectacle. Alken masterfully captures not only the physical challenges faced by these brave individuals but also conveys a sense of urgency and importance attached to their mission. This artwork serves as a reminder of how essential communication was even in harsh conditions, highlighting our human resilience and commitment to staying connected. Displayed within this private collection, courtesy of eThe British Sporting Art Trust, this painting stands as an exquisite example of English artistry from yesteryears. Its timeless appeal resonates with viewers today, reminding us that despite technological advancements transforming our postal services over time, there remains something enchanting about witnessing history unfold through such artistic renderings. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Alken's skillful brushwork and immerse ourselves in an era long gone—a testament to both his talent as an artist and our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time.
