EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Recent Severe Weather in the North, the Snow-Plough clearing the Streets at Newcastle-on-Tyne" takes us back to a wintry scene in 1878. The image showcases the aftermath of a heavy snowfall in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where streets have been transformed into a winter wonderland. In this historical snapshot, we witness a determined team operating a horse-drawn snow plow to clear the streets for pedestrians and carriages alike. The horses strain against their harnesses as they pull the weighty plow through knee-deep snow. Their breath mingles with clouds of steam rising from their bodies, evidence of both exertion and freezing temperatures. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every flake of falling snow seems palpable on this print. Buildings stand stoically in the background, adorned with icicles that glisten under an overcast sky. Despite nature's fury, there is an air of resilience captured within this scene—a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability even amidst severe weather conditions. "The Recent Severe Weather in the North" serves as a poignant reminder of our enduring struggle against Mother Nature's whims. It invites viewers to reflect on how communities come together during challenging times and highlights humanity's unwavering spirit when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving today, it offers us not only insight into life over a century ago but also prompts contemplation about our own
