Pass Of Pancorbo - A Glimpse into the Perilous Journey of 19th Century Travelers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to circa 1850, offering a glimpse into the treacherous Pass of Pancorbo in northern Spain. In this engraving by J. C. Varrall after a drawing by David Roberts, we witness an ominous scene where bandits lie in wait for unwary travelers. The Horsedrawn cart cautiously makes its way through the narrow canyon, navigating the rugged country lane with caution. The image captures the essence of adventure and danger that characterized travel during this era. With towering mountains as their backdrop, brave souls embarked on journeys fraught with uncertainty and risk. The tunnel-like pass adds an air of mystery to the composition, hinting at hidden perils lurking within. The attention to detail in this landscape format print is remarkable; every stroke brings life to each element - from the worn-out cart wheels to the rocky terrain beneath them. It transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those who traversed these unforgiving landscapes. As we admire this historical piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection curated by Hulton Archive, let it serve as a reminder of our ancestors' resilience and determination amidst adversity. May it inspire wanderlust while also reminding us how fortunate we are to explore today's world with greater ease and safety than those who came before us.
