EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively scene from the early 19th century, depicting "The Post House" in Bodmin, Cornwall. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this watercolour drawing showcases an intricate landscape with the Sun Inn as its focal point. As a coach arrives at the inn, two women are gracefully assisted down the steps while an altercation unfolds between one of the coachmen and a passenger in the foreground. The presence of a fighting dog and pig adds to the dramatic atmosphere. Rowlandson's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, showcasing not only the architectural beauty of the building but also capturing snippets of daily life during that era. The image transports viewers back in time, offering glimpses into transportation practices and social interactions prevalent in 1800s England. This remarkable piece is part of Rose Macaulay's book "Life Amongst the English" published by Collins in 1942. It serves as a visual representation of British history and provides valuable insights into professions such as coaching inn workers and travelers' experiences during that period. With its vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork, Rowlandson's artwork continues to captivate audiences today, reminding us of our rich heritage and inviting us to explore centuries-old stories embedded within each stroke.
