EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to 1860s Britain, where a lock on the River Thames is being opened by a man and his small child. The scene unfolds with an approaching barge, drawn by a majestic horse along the river bank. This historical moment captures the essence of transportation during that era. The keeper of the lock stands proudly as he operates the mechanism, allowing water to flow through and guide the barge safely on its journey. A yokel, dressed in traditional attire, assists him while his loyal dog looks on curiously. The picturesque setting of the Thames adds to the charm and nostalgia of this image. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into history when canals played a vital role in transporting goods across Britain's waterways. It serves as a reminder of how life was intricately connected to these rivers and canals for trade and travel. Mary Evans Prints Online has beautifully preserved this piece of history for us to admire today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our rich heritage and appreciate how far we have come in terms of transportation technology.
