EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Packman displaying his wares" takes us back to the 1920s, a time of progress and rapidity. The vibrant color lithograph showcases an English packman proudly presenting his array of goods on horseback. This illustration was originally created for "The Wonders of Speed" by Ellison Hawks, a book that celebrated the marvels of transportation in its era. In this snapshot from history, we witness the importance of transport and travel as essential means for both trade and exploration. The packman's horse stands tall, symbolizing the reliance on these majestic animals during this period. Horses were not only used for farm work but also played a significant role in passenger transportation. The image exudes nostalgia with its depiction of various farm animals such as ponies and shire horses surrounding the packman. These creatures were vital companions in daily life and served as reliable modes of transport before automobiles took over. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this lithograph captures a moment frozen in time - an early twentieth-century scene that transports us back to an era where speed was revered, journeys were cherished, and nature seamlessly intertwined with human existence. This remarkable piece is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection – a treasure trove preserving historical illustrations through fine art prints like this one.
