EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "The Biter Bit, a Tale of Coaching Days" artist Charles Edmund Brock takes us back to the enchanting era of horse-drawn coaches. The scene is set against a picturesque countryside backdrop, where a magnificent coach with its spirited team of horses gallops along a winding road. As we delve into the story unfolding before our eyes, we witness an amusing twist. A mischievous prankster has cleverly tied two bales of hay to the rear axle of the coach, unbeknownst to its unsuspecting driver and passengers. With each passing moment, tension builds as we anticipate the inevitable outcome. Brock's attention to detail is impeccable; every character's expression tells its own tale. The passengers inside are oblivious to their impending fate while engrossed in conversation or gazing out at the passing scenery. Meanwhile, outside onlookers chuckle knowingly as they await the hilarious spectacle about to unfold. This delightful illustration originally appeared in The Graphic's Christmas Number 1899 edition and captures both the charm and humor associated with coaching days. It serves as a reminder that even during simpler times, pranks and laughter were universal sources of entertainment. "The Biter Bit" transports us back in time through vivid colors and intricate details, inviting us to immerse ourselves in this whimsical world for just a moment longer.
