EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 18th-century travel with its depiction of a post chaise. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this colour lithograph showcases the elegance and charm of transportation during this era. The post chaise, a popular means of conveyance at the time, is beautifully illustrated in vivid colours that bring it to life. The image transports us back to a bygone era when roads were mere paths and lanes, winding through picturesque landscapes. It evokes a sense of adventure as we imagine travellers embarking on long journeys along these residential roads or common routes. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every element from the carriage itself to the surrounding scenery has been meticulously rendered. The pullman car exudes an air of sophistication while also hinting at the challenges faced by those who undertook such travels centuries ago. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Hillaire Belloc's book "The Highway and its Vehicles" published in 1926. It serves as a visual representation of England's rich history and cultural heritage, reminding us of how far transportation has come since then. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are reminded not only of our own love for travel but also how it connects us to generations past. This piece truly encapsulates the spirit and allure of 18th-century travel, making it a timeless addition to any collection.
