EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph from the 1950s, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of travellers paying a toll at a turnpike. The artist, Richard Henry Brock, skillfully captures the essence of English history and travel during this era. The image depicts an intricately detailed coach pulled by majestic horses, standing before the imposing gate of the turnpike. The toll collector stands ready to collect payment from the weary travellers who have paused on their journey. Dressed in traditional costumes that reflect the fashion of the time, these figures exude an air of elegance and sophistication. Brock's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the ornate carvings on the coach to each individual horse's harness, no element is overlooked. The composition draws our eyes towards the central figures while also allowing us to appreciate the surrounding landscape and architecture. This lithograph not only serves as a visual record but also offers us insight into a bygone era when travel was slower-paced and more deliberate. It reminds us of how much has changed since then while also highlighting certain timeless aspects such as human interaction and our fascination with exploration. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be transported back in time ourselves – imagining what it would have been like to experience such a moment firsthand.
