Country Road Scene in Winter - drawn by Foster, 1850. Creator: Edmund Evans
Country Road Scene in Winter - drawn by Foster, 1850. A carter pulls to one side for a stagecoach with schoolboys travelling home for the Christmas holidays. Illustration to a poem by H.: Less care they who crowd the roof - Happy schoolboys, overglad; To the weather Christmas-proof; Laughing, shouting, almost mad! Thoughts of home and merry times, Sing within their hearts, like chimes. Hears their shout, with answering joy, Carrier, looking from his cart; Once he was himself a boy, And is yet one in his heart. Willing, then, he turns aside - They may pass him in their pride'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
Edmund Evans' captivating illustration, "Country Road Scene in Winter - drawn by Foster," published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, depicts a charming winter scene of a horse-drawn stagecoach making its way through a snow-covered countryside. A carter, dressed in a heavy coat and hat, pulls his cart to the side to allow the passengers to disembark. Among them are jubilant schoolboys, bundled up against the cold, eagerly making their way home for the Christmas holidays. The boys' laughter and excitement fill the air as they sing songs of home and merry times. The carrier, reminiscing about his own childhood, willingly steps aside, allowing the boys to pass with pride. The illustration is adorned with holly and Ilex aquifolium, adding to the festive atmosphere. The animals, including horses and a dog, are also bundled up against the cold, their breath visible in the crisp winter air. The clothing of the figures, from the boys' thick coats and hats to the carrier's heavy workwear, reflects the fashion of the time. The scene is a beautiful representation of the joy and anticipation of the holiday season, and the enduring spirit of childhood. Edmund Evans, a renowned English engraver and publisher, expertly captured the essence of the poem by H. that accompanies the illustration, which speaks to the carefree spirit of the boys and the carrier's fond memories of his own childhood. This image is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke feelings of joy and nostalgia.
