EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print showcases an intriguing advertisement for the Henley Stage Coach, dating back to 1717. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, this historical piece is now preserved in the City of Westminster Archive Centre in London. The advertisement promotes a journey from the White Hart Inn at Henley-upon-Thames to the White Horse Inn on Fleet Street in London. It offers a glimpse into public transport during that era, depicting a horse-drawn stagecoach as the primary mode of travel. The intricate details captured within this woodcut are truly remarkable. From the fine lines etched into each horse's muscular form to the meticulously designed carriage wheels, every element exudes craftsmanship and precision. This broadsheet advert serves as a fascinating window into advertising practices of yesteryears. Its purpose was not only to inform potential travelers but also to entice them with its elegant design and persuasive language. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves embarking on this scenic journey through picturesque landscapes and bustling city streets.
