EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print captures the dramatic scene of The Devonport Mail coach near Amesbury, bravely navigating through an avalanche of snow in 1837. Pulled by six powerful horses and accompanied by six vigilant guards, the coach is a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of nature's fury.
As concerned passengers peer out of the windows, their expressions reflecting a mix of fear and awe, one can almost feel the tension and adrenaline that must have filled the air during this treacherous journey. The image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who worked tirelessly to ensure that mail was delivered promptly, regardless of the challenges they faced.
Created from an engraving by R. Havell based on an illustration by Henry Alken, this print transports us back to a time when travel was not just a means to get from point A to point B, but an adventure filled with uncertainty and excitement. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology, while also highlighting the enduring spirit of perseverance that has always driven humanity forward.
Intriguingly detailed and rich in historical significance, this print is not just a work of art but a window into another era where every journey was an opportunity for discovery and courage.
