EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Quicksilver Royal Mail passing the Star and Garter at Kew Bridge, 1835" takes us on a journey back in time to witness the bustling activity of early transportation. Created by James Pollard in 1835, this print showcases the iconic Devonport and London coach no. 209, skillfully captured by Charles Hunt. The scene unfolds against the picturesque backdrop of Kew Bridge, with its elegant arches spanning over the tranquil Thames River. As we delve into the details of this artwork, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages were essential for long-distance travel and postal services. The Quicksilver Royal Mail charges forward with great speed and determination as it passes by the renowned Star and Garter public house. The vibrant livery adorning both horses and carriage adds a touch of grandeur to this lively spectacle. We catch glimpses of curious onlookers peering from windows or gathering near a toll gate along the route. This engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into daily life during Georgian England. With meticulous attention to detail, Pollard's work immortalizes an important chapter in transportation history while celebrating the beauty of these magnificent coaches that once dominated English roads. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress through innovation in travel technology.
