EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Holyhead and Chester Mails, 1905" takes us back in time to a wintry scene in rural England. Created by the talented artist Robert Havell, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of winter transportation during the early 19th century. In this picturesque countryside setting near Dunstable, we witness a stagecoach stuck amidst deep snow drifts. The horses strain against their harnesses as men valiantly attempt to free the trapped carriage from its icy prison. The biting cold weather is palpable as snowflakes gently fall from the sky, creating a serene yet treacherous atmosphere. This image not only showcases the challenges faced by travelers during harsh winters but also highlights the importance of communication and mail delivery in remote areas like Anglesey and Cheshire. The stagecoach symbolizes both progress and rustic charm, serving as a lifeline for those awaiting news or eagerly anticipating correspondence. "The Holyhead and Chester Mails" serves as an evocative reminder of a bygone era when horse-drawn vehicles were essential for transporting people and goods across long distances. It invites us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of transportation while cherishing our connection with nature's beauty even during challenging seasons. Published by Robert Havell himself on February 6th, 1837, this remarkable engraving continues to captivate viewers over a century later through its intricate details and historical significance.
