Eight-Horse Rolling Wagon - Instructions for Operation and Loading
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an eight-horse rolling wagon from the late 18th century. The team of eight powerful horses, harnessed and ready to work, pulls a heavy wagon with an undercarriage mounted on four rollers. The use of rollers allowed for the smooth transportation of heavy loads over uneven terrain, making this type of wagon a common sight along rivers and rural roads during this time period. The text below the image provides instructions for the operation and loading of the wagon. It reads, "To Load: Place the goods to be conveyed on the floor of the wagon, and when it is well filled, smooth the surface with a board, that the goods may lie even. Then let the driver take care that the horses are properly harnessed, and that the pole is well fixed in the yoke. The horses being in readiness, the driver mounts the seat, and the wagon is then drawn forward by the team." The historical significance of the eight-horse rolling wagon lies in its ability to transport heavy goods efficiently over long distances. The use of multiple horses allowed for a larger payload and the undercarriage with rollers made the journey smoother and less labor-intensive. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of the time. The horses, with their powerful muscles and determined expressions, add to the sense of movement and energy in the scene. Their harnesses are intricately detailed, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the creation of this wagon. The rolling wagon was a vital part of transportation history, paving the way for more advanced methods of transport in the centuries to come.
