EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the 1920s in London, England. In this image, we see a magnificent horse pulling a canal barge along the tranquil waterway. The horse stands proudly on the tow path, its full-length portrait showcasing its strength and grace. The bargeman, with his direct gaze towards the camera, exudes a sense of pride as he guides the barge through the city's canals. This scene provides us with a glimpse into an era when water transport was an essential part of daily life in Britain. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the nostalgic charm of this photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. It is evident that this image comes from "Wonderful London" volume II edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured on paper through photogravure technique, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our enduring connection with animals like horses who played vital roles in shaping our cities and countryside. With every detail carefully preserved within this print collector's treasure trove, it allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of London but also reflect upon our own progress throughout the 20th century.
