EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from a children's book published in London in 1860, we are transported back in time to witness the laborious journey of a determined carter and his team of two majestic carthorses. The wagon is heavily loaded with sacks brimming with golden corn, destined for the nearby flour mill. With his whip held aloft, Carter walks confidently ahead of his trusty steeds, leading them along the dusty road. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of hard work and dedication required to transport essential grain for food production during that era. The intricate details showcase the craftsmanship involved in creating such an enchanting scene, highlighting every stroke etched into the wood. As we gaze at this timeless image, we can almost hear the rhythmic clatter of hooves on cobblestones and feel a sense of anticipation as these noble animals pull their precious cargo towards its destination. It serves as a reminder that transportation was once reliant on horse-drawn wagons like these before modern technology transformed our world. This evocative print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also ignites our imagination and curiosity about how life used to be. It reminds us to appreciate the progress made over time while cherishing traditions that have shaped our present-day society.
