EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of 18th-century Britain. Created by TS Stayner and featuring over two hundred illustrations by George Paston, this artwork takes us back in time to witness a unique moment in history. In the image, we see a skilled rider on horseback, identified as "The Taylor" making his way towards Brentford. Clad in traditional attire with a tricorn hat atop his head, he carries Rules for bad horsemen in his pocket - perhaps an indication of his dedication to horsemanship. A poster nearby advertises the various feats of horsemanship performed by the famous Sampson that evening. This illustration from Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century offers us a glimpse into not only the occupation of tailoring but also the importance of horses during this era. The rider's profession as a tailor adds an intriguing layer to the scene, showcasing how people from diverse backgrounds engaged in different activities beyond their primary jobs. With its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail, this print transports us back to an era where horses were essential modes of transportation and horsemanship was celebrated. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of life during that time period. Overall, "The Taylor riding to Brentford" is not just an ordinary photograph; it is a window into 18th-century Britain's culture and traditions captured through TS Stayner's lens alongside George Paston
