EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mail Coach in thunderstorm" captures the essence of a tumultuous journey through the English countryside. Created by James Pollard, this colour lithograph beautifully depicts a scene from Hillaire Belloc's book, The Highway and its Vehicles. In this early twentieth-century artwork, we are transported back to a time when mail coaches were the lifeline of communication and transportation. Despite the raging storm, the coach remains steadfast on its path, symbolizing resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to every detail - from the majestic horses pulling the coach to the dramatic clouds overhead. This visual masterpiece not only showcases England's picturesque landscapes but also highlights its rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves being swept away on an exciting journey. It reminds us of a time when letters were handwritten with care and eagerly anticipated by recipients. The post office played a vital role in connecting people across vast distances, bridging gaps between loved ones separated by miles. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an era long gone. It is a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for connection even amidst nature's fury.
