EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Carriage on Sledges" takes us back to the early 19th century, showcasing a scene of elegance and grandeur. Etched by the talented artist John Augustus Atkinson and published in 1803, this colour lithograph captures a moment frozen in time. The image transports us to a snowy landscape where a magnificent carriage is being pulled effortlessly by six majestic horses. The footman stands proudly beside the coach, donning an impeccable uniform that exudes sophistication. The harnesses gleam under the winter sun, reflecting their meticulous craftsmanship. As we delve deeper into the picture, we notice the attention paid to every detail - from the livery worn by those involved in this royal procession to the traditional costumes that add an air of authenticity. The driver skillfully wields his whip while navigating through snow-covered terrain. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when carriages were not merely modes of transportation but symbols of status and luxury. It evokes images of travel across vast landscapes and conjures up visions of St Petersburg's enchanting winters. Through this artwork, Atkinson invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of horse-drawn transport but also its historical significance as it played an essential role in society during that period. This piece serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how animals like horses were once integral parts of our daily lives. In summary, "Carriage on Sledges" encapsulates both artistry and history within its frame
