EDITORS COMMENTS
an enchanting image from the 1886 edition of "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," captures the essence of a wintry scene in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The photograph, an intricately detailed engraving, showcases a horse-drawn sledge in full motion, traversing a snow-covered road. The powerful horses, bundled up against the cold, pull the sled with determination, their breath visible in the crisp winter air. The driver, dressed in a heavy coat and scarf, steers the horses with a confident hand, his face a picture of focus and determination. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and joy as several other men, also bundled up against the cold, follow behind on foot, their laughter and cheers carrying through the still winter air. The Isle of Bute, with its picturesque landscapes and rugged terrain, provides the perfect backdrop for this wintertime activity. The horses, a common mode of transportation during the Victorian era, demonstrate the resilience and resourcefulness of the Scots in navigating the harsh winter conditions. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasure of sledging brought people together in the face of the winter weather.
