EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print captures the dramatic scene of a Royal mail four-horse coach navigating through a flooded riverside road in the 1820s. The liveried guard is depicted skillfully driving the coach, showcasing his expertise and determination to deliver the mail despite the challenging conditions.
The artist, F. Rosenbourg, has beautifully captured the essence of this perilous journey, highlighting the power and resilience of both man and beast as they forge ahead through the deluge. The illustration by James Pollard brings to life this moment from history, showing us a glimpse into the past when such scenes were not uncommon.
This image is a testament to the dedication and bravery of those who worked tirelessly to ensure that important correspondence reached its destination no matter what obstacles stood in their way. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation and communication, while also honoring those who paved the way for our modern postal system.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn coaches ruled the roads and nature's fury could not deter them from their mission. It is a snapshot of history frozen in time, waiting to be admired and appreciated for generations to come.
