EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the chaos and destruction caused by an extraordinary carriage accident in the Strand. The scene is filled with tension as a runaway horse, fueled by sheer panic, breaks through the strong iron bar of the shutters and crashes into a cabinet-maker's shop. The force of impact shatters not only the shutters but also the entire plate-glass window, carrying along with it a brougham carriage. The incident took place opposite the offices of "The Days Doings" adding to its significance and making it even more newsworthy at that time. The image showcases both the power and unpredictability of these majestic animals, as well as their potential for causing havoc when they are overcome by fear or confusion. The intricate details in this 19th-century engraving bring to life every element of this dramatic event - from the shattered glass strewn across the street to onlookers frozen in awe at what has just unfolded before their eyes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urban landscapes, nature can still assert its dominance over man-made structures. This print is part of a private collection and offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting how accidents like these were documented and shared during that era. It stands as a testament to both human ingenuity in capturing such moments artistically and our eternal fascination with witnessing extraordinary events unfold before us.
