"Nosebag: A Glimpse into the Past Through Art and Photography" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of "nosebag, " a term that evokes images of bygone eras, horse-drawn carriages, and bustling streets. From the Old Cab at All Saints, Manchester in 1911 to the Wayside rest of British cavalry on the Western Front during World War I, this collection of artworks and photographs offers a fascinating glimpse into history. Imagine yourself strolling through St. Bartholomew Close in Smithfield, London in 1850, as depicted in watercolor on paper. The vibrant colors bring to life a scene filled with market traders and their horse-drawn carts. Among them stands the whip woman, faithfully minding the whips used by these traders. Transporting us further back is an etching from 1609 depicting a frontispiece to a series of hunting scenes. This intricate artwork captures both the thrill of pursuit and the elegance associated with aristocratic pastimes. The charm continues with oil paintings such as "On the Towpath" where we find ourselves walking alongside canals adorned with picturesque landscapes. Mules halting by the wayside before 1720 transport us even further back into history when these animals were essential for transportation across rugged terrains. Not limited to land-based scenes alone, our journey takes us to Narrow Quay in Bristol circa 1899 through delicate watercolors on paper. Here we witness bustling waterfront activity as ships come alive against a backdrop of Victorian architecture. But it's not just static images that captivate; black-and-white photographs like "Wayside rest of British cavalry on Western Front" offer poignant glimpses into life during World War I. These brave soldiers take respite amidst their noble steeds while facing unimaginable challenges. And let's not forget about humor.
