A Trip to Scarbro - A Hilarious Misadventure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported back to the early 19th century in England. The scene depicts a comical mishap during a journey to Scarborough, a popular seaside destination at the time. A heavily loaded coach, burdened with an abundance of luggage and passengers, finds itself in quite the predicament as it drives straight into a pond. The aquatint technique used by J. Bluck beautifully captures the details of this amusing incident. The sketch by J. Green from "Poetical Sketches of Scarborough" provides inspiration for Rowlandson's caricature-like portrayal of this eventful moment. With exaggerated expressions and gestures, he brings out the humor in every character's face. This print not only showcases Rowlandson's exceptional artistic skills but also reflects on society during that era. It highlights both the anxieties and fears associated with public transport while satirizing British morals and population density. The image evokes laughter as we witness horses struggling amidst their human cargo falling into the lake. It serves as a reminder that even in times past, accidents were not uncommon on roads filled with horse-drawn vehicles. Overall, this delightful engraving transports us back to a time when travel was an adventure filled with unexpected surprises. Its intricate details and playful nature make it an excellent addition to any collection celebrating English history or providing amusement through its clever depiction of human follies.
