EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical print, we are transported back to the Victorian era, where an English lady in a magnificent crinoline dress takes center stage. With her parasol in hand, she fearlessly drives a pony-drawn basket-carriage through the bustling streets of a small town. The whole town seems captivated by her presence, their curious gazes fixed upon her and her mother. This delightful scene captures the essence of provincial life during that time period. As the lady confidently navigates through the square and down the street, it is evident that she is not just taking a leisurely promenade or stroll but truly embracing her role as a woman driver. Her determination challenges societal norms and showcases her independent spirit. The artist behind this masterpiece is John Leech, renowned for his caricatures and illustrations for Punch magazine. His attention to detail shines through in every stroke of this handcoloured steel engraving. The vibrant colors bring life to each element - from the elegant crinoline dress to the spirited ponies pulling the carriage. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on our streets. It serves as both an amusing glimpse into history and an ode to female empowerment during an era defined by rigid social conventions. This stunning print by Bridgeman Images invites us to step into a world filled with comical charm, wild horses racing alongside farm animals grazing peacefully in meadows nearby – all while celebrating one English lady's audacious drive through town.
