1871 Bourgeois Carriages Drawn Landlord Parasol Plump Private Publican Reins Smug
A Moment of Elegance - The Publican and His Wife in Victorian Splendor, 1871
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1871, captures the essence of Victorian class and elegance as a publican and his wife enjoy a leisurely carriage ride through the picturesque countryside. The publican, a portly, well-dressed man with a smug expression, sits confidently in the carriage, holding the reins with an air of authority. His wife, a plump, fashionably-dressed woman, shades herself from the sun with an elaborate parasol, her face adorned with a demure smile. Their attire speaks volumes of their bourgeois status. The publican wears a tailored waistcoat, crisp shirt, and a top hat, while his wife dons a voluminous dress with a corseted waist and a high collar. The carriage, adorned with intricate designs and fringes, adds to their regal appearance. The horses, with their polished hooves and glistening coats, complete the scene of affluence and luxury. The photograph, drawn from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the private lives of the Victorian middle class. The publican and his wife, despite their roles as landlords of a local pub, were not immune to the allure of the finer things in life. Their carriage ride, a symbol of their prosperity and social standing, is a testament to their hard work and dedication to maintaining their status in society. This photograph, with its intricate details and historical significance, transports us back to a time when class, elegance, and the simple pleasure of a carriage ride were the epitome of luxury and sophistication. It is a moment frozen in time, a moment of pure bliss and joy, that continues to captivate and inspire us even today.
