EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark contrasts in the transportation of the Royal Mail between 1837 and 1887, during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. In 1837, horse-drawn coaches were relied upon to deliver mail across vast distances, a slow and arduous process. However, by 1887, the advent of steam trains revolutionized this system. The image showcases two scenes side by side - on one hand, a majestic horse-drawn coach with its regal passengers and postal workers; on the other hand, a powerful steam train speeding along the tracks. The differences are striking: while the coach represents tradition and elegance, it pales in comparison to the speed and efficiency offered by its modern counterpart. The railway brought numerous advantages over road travel for transporting mail. Speed became paramount as railways allowed for swift delivery across great distances. Comfort was also greatly improved as passengers could now enjoy smoother rides compared to bumpy carriage journeys. Additionally, night travel became possible with illuminated carriages that ensured uninterrupted service even after sunset. Published in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee by Perry & Co. , London in approximately 1887, this print from "The Realm of Victoria" offers us a glimpse into an era where technological advancements transformed not only royal communication but also society at large. It serves as a reminder of how progress can shape our world and improve our lives through innovation and ingenuity.
