A Little Difficulty - A Family's Unexpected Detour in 1853
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the sense of disappointment and frustration experienced by a Victorian family as they encounter an unexpected obstacle during their carriage ride along the coastal road. Dressed in their finest attire, the family of four, including two young children, appear eager and excited for their day trip. However, their journey takes an unexpected turn as they approach the treacherous-looking coastal road, only to find it closed. The father, wearing a top hat and holding the reins, looks concerned as he consults with a local man, dressed in traditional rural attire, who stands by the side of the road. The mother, her expression a mixture of worry and resignation, holds onto her bonnet as she looks back at the closed road. The children, bundled up in coats, peek out from the carriage, their curiosity piqued by the commotion. The local man, pointing towards the distance, advises the family that they must back up half a mile and take the other way over the Downs. The family's carriage, pulled by two strong horses, is positioned at a tight corner, making it difficult to turn around. The father, with a determined look on his face, signals to the horses to move, preparing for the arduous journey ahead. This photograph, taken in 1853, offers a glimpse into the challenges of transportation during the Victorian era. The closed coastal road and the need for a detour would have added hours to the family's journey, but their spirits remain unbroken as they prepare to press on. The image is a poignant reminder of the tenacity and resilience of families in the face of unexpected difficulties.
