EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "North Country Mails at The Peacock, Islington, 1838" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century London. The scene showcases a vibrant street filled with activity and energy. In front of the iconic Peacock building stands an array of horse-drawn carriages, including passenger and mail coaches. The image captures the essence of a thriving postal service as well as the daily comings and goings of travelers. Horses adorned in elegant livery pull these magnificent coaches while donkeys add a touch of charm to the scene. It is fascinating to witness how transportation has evolved over time. The Peacock pub serves as a backdrop for this lively street scene, adding character and atmosphere to the engraving. Its presence suggests that it was not only a place for refreshment but also served as a hub for socializing and meeting fellow travelers. As we delve into this historical print, we are transported into an era where horse-drawn carriages were essential modes of transportation. This engraving provides us with glimpses into everyday life during Georgian England - from congested city streets to the importance placed on efficient mail delivery. Through this artwork by James Pollard (1797-1867), we gain insight into both the practicalities and beauty associated with travel in 19th-century Britain. It reminds us that even amidst progress and change, certain aspects remain timeless - such as our desire for connection through communication and exploration.
