EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment of high spirits and defiance embodied by the eccentric Englishman, John Mytton, as he attempts to jump his carriage over a tollgate in the 1820s. Mytton, born in 1796 and passing in 1834, was a renowned figure in his community of Apperley, Herefordshire, England, known for his unconventional behavior and love for adventure. The scene unfolds with Mytton at the reins of his carriage, a determined look on his face as he prepares for the daring leap. The toll-keeper, standing to the side, looks on with a mixture of exasperation and disbelief, no doubt having encountered Mytton's antics before. A passenger, dressed in a smock, clings to the side of the carriage, likely holding on for dear life. Mytton's whip is raised in the air, adding to the sense of excitement and danger in the moment. The tollgate, a common sight along English roads during this time, stands as an obstacle to Mytton's reckless pursuit of avoiding the toll fee. The photograph, taken in the 1820s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the eccentricities and quirks of English life during this era. The image is a reminder of the spirit of adventure and the lengths some people went to, even if it meant causing a scene or an accident. Mytton's audacious act of jumping his carriage over a tollgate continues to intrigue and amuse, making it a fascinating piece of history.
