EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Carriage to Hammersmith" from Ed Finch's "Perambulations," transports us back in time to the 17th century. In the scene, a coachman skillfully maneuvers two horses, their powerful muscles straining as they pull a carriage away from Hammersmith. The horses' glossy coats glisten in the sunlight, their breath visible in the crisp air. The carriage, adorned with intricate designs and ornate details, speaks of wealth and privilege. The coachman, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, sits tall and proud atop the carriage, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. A clergyman, identifiable by his Bible under his arm and his priestly robes, sits in the carriage, deep in thought. The peaceful countryside stretches out behind them, dotted with quaint cottages and verdant fields. The year is 1641, and the scene exudes a sense of tranquility and simplicity. Travel was a more laborious and private affair back then, with horse-drawn carriages being the primary mode of transport for the wealthy and privileged classes. The journey to Hammersmith would have taken several hours, but the experience would have been a luxurious one, with the comfort of the carriage and the scenic beauty of the countryside providing ample distraction. This image, from the collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and culture of a bygone era. The horses, the carriage, the coachman, and the clergyman all come together to create a scene that is both beautiful and historical, a testament to the rich tapestry of our past.
