EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print captures the bustling scene of the Royal Mail stage coach arriving in Bristol from London at around 10AM. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the excitement and anticipation of receiving mail during this time period. The skilled artistry of Robert Cruikshank is evident in every stroke, as he expertly depicts the horse-drawn carriage pulling up to the Post Office amidst a flurry of activity. The figures in their elaborate livery add a touch of elegance to the scene, while the caricatured coachman adds a hint of humor. As viewers gaze upon this historical snapshot, they are transported back to a time when communication was slower but no less important. The arrival of the Royal Mail was not just about delivering letters and packages, but also about connecting people across vast distances and bringing news from afar. Bernard Blackmantle's writing under his pseudonym Charles Molloy Westmacott further enhances this piece, providing context and depth to what would otherwise be just a simple moment captured on paper. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and communication, while also celebrating the charm and nostalgia of days gone by.
