EDITORS COMMENTS
Behind a Scorcher (engraving) captures the intensity and energy of a bygone era. This print, created by John Charles Dollman in 1889, takes us back to a time when horse-drawn transportation was at its peak. The engraving, now part of a private collection, originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic's Summer Number. In this scene, we witness the power and determination of these magnificent creatures as they are harnessed together to pull a heavy load. The horses stand steady and ready, their muscles drawn tight with anticipation. Their stoic expressions reveal their understanding of the task at hand. The term 'scorcher' refers to someone who rides or drives recklessly fast - an apt description for the speed at which these horses are expected to move. As we admire this artwork, we can almost feel the wind rushing past our faces as we join them on their journey. Dollman's attention to detail brings each animal to life; every muscle and sinew is expertly rendered. Through his skillful technique, he reminds us of the vital role that horses played in daily life during this period. This engraving not only celebrates the beauty and strength of these farm animals but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in utilizing them for transport purposes. It invites us into an era where horsepower literally meant relying on these majestic creatures for progress.
