EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Ten Minutes Behind" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a speeding mail coach on its journey through England. The image showcases the thrill and urgency of travel during this era, as horse-drawn carriages raced against time to deliver their precious cargo. The scene depicts a mail coach behind schedule, with passengers anxiously holding on as the driver whips his horses into full speed. The dynamic composition and attention to detail in this artwork bring alive the energy and excitement of this bygone era. As we delve into the image, we are transported to a time when transportation was not just about reaching a destination but also about experiencing an adventure. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of modern transport systems while evoking nostalgia for simpler times. The artist beautifully captures not only the physical aspects of this journey but also hints at the cultural significance it held for both British and German societies. It is fascinating to see how these two nations' histories intersected through trade routes and shared experiences. Overall, "Ten Minutes Behind" is more than just an artwork; it is a window into history that allows us to appreciate our progress while cherishing our past.
