EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Grammont's Coach, dating back to the year 1870. The coach itself holds a significant historical value as it belonged to Philibert, Count de Gramont, a notable French nobleman renowned for his role in Antoine Hamilton's Memoires. Coaches were first introduced into England in 1564 and played an essential role in transportation during that era. The photograph is set against the backdrop of one of London's Royal Parks, originally designated for the recreational activities of the royal family, particularly hunting. This image beautifully captures a moment from a bygone era when women had taken on roles traditionally held by men. A female coachman can be seen confidently maneuvering the stagecoach through its journey. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this portrait, emphasizing its connection to history. It serves as both a metaphorical representation of road transport advancements during the 19th century and an homage to earlier centuries when coaches were first introduced. This remarkable print provides us with a glimpse into British society during this time period while also highlighting the profession and story behind Lady Grammont's memoirs written by Jacob Larwood. With its rich historical context and elegant composition, this print from Heritage Images truly encapsulates the essence of transportation in 16th-19th century Britain within London's prestigious parks.
