EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting countryside of 19th century England. In this mesmerizing scene, a group of pack-horses can be seen diligently carrying bread on their backs along a country road towards the bustling city of London. The image is an engraving from Cassells Illustrated History of England, volume VII, published around 1895. The horses, with their strong and majestic presence, symbolize the tireless efforts made by these noble animals in transporting essential goods across long distances. They navigate through the picturesque landscape with grace and determination as they fulfill their duty to provide sustenance for the people living in London. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon the historical significance of transportation during that era. It reminds us of how vital these pack-horses were in connecting rural areas to urban centers like London. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for both nature's beauty and mankind's reliance on animals for survival. This remarkable print serves as a testament to British history while also honoring the unsung heroes – these diligent pack-horses who played an integral role in feeding one of Europe's most vibrant cities.
