EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century in England, where horse-drawn transportation was still a common sight. The image showcases a horse-brake, a popular mode of public transport during that time. The horse-brake is an impressive wheeled vehicle with an upper deck designed to accommodate numerous passengers. Its historical significance lies in its role as a means of transporting people for outings and leisure activities. This particular horse-brake featured in "The Pageant of the Century" published in 1934, offers us a glimpse into the past and reminds us of how different our modes of transportation have become. As we admire this archival gem, we can almost imagine ourselves being part of that era, enjoying a scenic ride through picturesque English countryside or bustling city streets. The well-groomed horses pulling the brake symbolize not only their vital role as engines but also evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when horsepower was literal. This print serves as both a testament to history and an invitation to reflect on how far we've come in terms of transportation technology. It reminds us that even though our methods may have changed drastically over the years, there will always be something enchanting about witnessing glimpses from bygone eras like this one captured by Welsh photographer Ken Archival.
