Hold Hard, You Have Forgot the Lady: A Humorous Depiction of Travel in 1840s Scotland (Cumnock-Dumfries Coach by C B Newhouse, 1845) This print, titled "Hold Hard, You Have Forgot the Lady," offers a comical glimpse into the world of transportation in Scotland during the early Victorian era. Drawn by C B Newhouse in 1845, the image depicts a crowded Cumnock-Dumfries coach, with passengers of all ages and stages, each vying for the coachman's attention. At the center of the scene, a man in a top hat and overcoat, with a determined expression, holds up a sign that reads, "Hold Hard, You Have Forgot the Lady." He is referring to the elegant lady in a bonnet, who has been left behind at the inn. The coachman, seemingly oblivious to her plight, focuses his attention on the passengers already aboard, urging them to 'make way' for more passengers trying to board. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a ladder leaning against the inn, suggesting that some passengers may have had to climb up to reach the coach. Horses and their drivers are also shown waiting at the side, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. This charming print, published by Messrs. Fores, provides a humorous yet insightful look into the daily challenges of travel during the 1840s. The comical depiction of the coachman's forgetfulness and the passengers' determination to board the coach, despite the lady left behind, offers a glimpse into the resilience and sense of humor of people during this era. Overall, this print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of transportation, Scotland, or the 19th century.
