The Cambridge Telegraph
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the bustling scene outside the White Horse Tavern on Fetter Lane in 1825. This engraving by James Pollard, reproduced from a private collection, showcases a moment frozen in time during the heyday of horse-drawn travel. The image depicts a mail coach about to depart from the inn, its passengers eagerly awaiting their journey. The hand-colored aquatint with etching by George Hunt adds vibrancy and depth to this snapshot of 19th-century England. Cobblestone streets and a charming building backdrop set the stage for this quintessentially British scene. Horses stand patiently as their carriages are prepared for departure, while travelers gather with anticipation. The White Horse Tavern served as a popular rest stop along this well-traveled route. This print not only offers an insight into transportation and coaching practices of the era but also provides glimpses into daily life in Victorian London. It evokes images of bustling roads filled with coaches and four horses galloping through picturesque landscapes. As we admire "The Cambridge Telegraph" we are transported back to an age when postal services relied heavily on these trusty mail coaches. This engraving serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece, capturing the essence of British culture and travel during that time period.
