The Mail Coach in a Thunderstorm
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back to the year 1827. Engraved by R. G. Reeve, this colour lithograph showcases the incredible talent of James Pollard, who created the original artwork. Measuring at 52x62.5 cm, this piece now resides in a private collection but is made available for public appreciation through The British Sporting Art Trust. The image captures a scene filled with tension and drama as a mail coach battles its way through an intense thunderstorm. The night sky crackles with lightning while rain pours down relentlessly, creating an eerie atmosphere. The river nearby appears treacherous and swollen from the heavy rainfall. In this perilous journey, the coachman skillfully guides his horses through the harsh weather conditions, their rearing hooves reflecting their fear and uncertainty. Despite the danger surrounding them, they press on dutifully to deliver important mail. This print not only highlights the bravery of those involved in England's postal service but also serves as a testament to human resilience in challenging circumstances. It offers us a glimpse into transportation methods of yesteryears and reminds us of how far we have come in terms of meteorology and understanding weather patterns. "The Mail Coach in a Thunderstorm" is an exquisite example of English landscape art combined with elements of adventure and danger that continue to captivate audiences today.
