EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene from the past, as Royal Mail Coaches depart from The Swan with Two Necks Inn in Lad Lane. Engraved by F. Rosenberg in 1831 after James Pollard's original work, this image provides a glimpse into the daily life of urban deliveries and postal services during that era. The inn's balcony is filled with onlookers, eagerly watching as horse-drawn carriages are loaded with packages and letters for their journey. The courtyard is abuzz with activity, as people go about their business amidst the organized chaos of transport and coaching. In an age before modern conveniences, this scene showcases the importance of mail delivery in connecting communities across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of how vital these coaches were for communication and commerce during this time period. The intricate details captured by Pollard's engraving highlight not only the architectural beauty of The Swan with Two Necks Inn but also the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such exquisite horse-drawn carriages. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the dedication and hard work it took to ensure timely deliveries in an era long gone. This print truly transports us back to a bygone era when handwritten letters held immense value and travel was measured not just by distance covered but also by human connection fostered through correspondence.
