EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant coloured engraving captures a dramatic scene from 19th century England, showcasing the perils of travel during that era. The image depicts a horse-drawn coach careening towards a toll gate, with passengers anxiously bracing themselves for an imminent collision. In this chaotic moment frozen in time, we witness the mishap and chaos that can unfold on the roads. The stagecoach, packed with travellers, has lost control and is hurtling towards disaster. The toll gate keeper looks on in horror as he realizes what is about to happen. The engraving not only highlights the dangers of road travel but also offers insights into transportation systems of the past. It provides us with a glimpse into how toll gates were once an integral part of journeying through Britain's countryside. With its attention to detail and vivid colors, this artwork transports us back to a bygone era when accidents like these were more common due to limited road infrastructure and less advanced modes of transport. Through this print, we are reminded of both the excitement and risks associated with traveling in 19th century England. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in navigating treacherous journeys while embracing new adventures along the way.
