EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print captures the dramatic scene of The Liverpool mail coach crashing in the snow near St. Albans in 1837. The carriage is overturned, with no horses in sight, as a woman passenger looks out with a mix of shock and concern on her face.
The chaotic aftermath of the accident is evident, with guards scrambling to assess the situation amidst the blizzard conditions. The image, based on an engraving by R. Havell from an illustration by Henry Alken, transports us back to a time when travel was fraught with danger and uncertainty.
The detailed depiction of this historical event is part of Ralph Nevill's collection of Old Sporting Prints featured in The Connoisseur Magazine in London in 1908. It serves as a reminder of the risks faced by travelers during the 19th century, highlighting both the excitement and peril associated with horse-drawn transportation.
As we gaze upon this print, we are drawn into a world where accidents were not uncommon and where survival often depended on quick thinking and resourcefulness. It is a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in the face of adversity, making it a truly compelling piece that captures both history and emotion simultaneously.
