Boarding the Coach to London, 1879 - A Glimpse into Victorian Travel
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil painting by John Charles Maggs takes us back to the bustling streets of Bath in 1879. The artist skillfully captures a moment in time as a large group of people prepare to embark on their journey to London. Standing outside an inn, men and women donned in their finest attire eagerly await the arrival of the horse-drawn coach. The composition is filled with intricate details that bring this historical scene to life. From the majestic plumed horses harnessed to the coach, to the small group of animals adding charm and character, every element adds depth and richness. The building's exterior showcases typical Victorian architecture while a veranda provides shelter for those bidding farewell. Maggs' mastery lies not only in his ability to depict physical appearances but also in capturing emotions and anticipation. Each figure exudes excitement and readiness for what lies ahead, creating an atmosphere charged with energy. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time - witnessing a significant moment when travel was still an adventure reserved for few. This print serves as both a visual delight and a window into history, reminding us of how far we have come since these days of stagecoaches and grand departures from quaint English towns like Bath.
