EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of a family on the move, taken from a painting dated 1798, held in the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library. The family, dressed in the fashionable attire of the late 18th century, sits atop their horses with an air of determination and resilience. The father, wearing a tall hat and a heavy coat, leads the way, his gaze fixed on the horizon. His wife, in a flowing gown and a bonnet, holds on tightly to their young child, who clings to her in turn. Two packhorses follow closely behind, laden with the family's belongings, supplies, and perhaps even a pet. The scene transports us back in time, to an era when travel was a significant undertaking and the horse was the primary mode of transportation. The rugged terrain, dotted with trees and rocks, attests to the challenging terrain they must have traversed. The family's journey could have been motivated by various reasons - a move to a new settlement, a visit to relatives, or an exploration of new lands. The painting offers a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors, providing a window into their daily struggles and triumphs. It is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to adapt and endure, even in the face of adversity. The horses, too, played a crucial role in this journey, their strength and agility enabling the family to cover vast distances and overcome obstacles. This image invites us to reflect on the rich history of human migration and the role that horses have played in shaping our past. It is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, and the power of the human spirit to overcome challenges and forge new paths.
