The Arrival of the Coach - a Roadside Inn a Century Ago - painted by T. F. Marshall, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Arrival of the Coach - a Roadside Inn a Century Ago - painted by T. F. Marshall, 1850....Mr. T. F. Marshall's single contribution to the Royal Academy Exhibition [in London]. It hangs in the Octagon Room, but merits a better place:
634 [in the catalogue]...This is a delightful picture of domestic life. The gossiping group in the foreground - the delighted passengers - the country girl meeting her relatives - the attention of the landlady to the passengers of the better class - are very characteristic; and the old inn, with its quaint sign-board, is picturesquely treated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

The Arrival of the Coach - A Roadside Inn a Century Ago,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by T.F. Marshall in 1850, is a captivating and evocative work of art that offers a glimpse into the past. This masterpiece, which made its debut at the Royal Academy Exhibition in London, is currently housed in the Octagon Room, but its charm and intrigue warrant a more prominent display. The painting depicts a bustling scene of domestic life at a roadside inn during the 18th and 19th centuries. The gossiping group in the foreground, the delighted passengers, the country girl meeting her relatives, and the landlady's attentiveness to the passengers of the better class are all vividly portrayed. The old inn, with its quaint signboard, is picturesquely treated, adding to the overall charm of the painting. Marshall's contribution to the Royal Academy Exhibition, catalogued as number 634, is a delightful representation of everyday life during this period. The painting is rich in detail, from the passengers' luggage and the dogs barking at the arrival of the coach, to the soldiers and men gathered around, engaged in conversation. The arrival of the coach, with its stagecoach and horses, adds to the sense of excitement and anticipation in the scene. This print, engraved from the original painting, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Marshall's work. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of travel by stagecoach and the simple pleasures of a roadside inn. The Arrival of the Coach is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, transportation, or social class in Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries.
