EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Royal Mails starting from the Post Office, Lombard Street, 1829" takes us back to a bustling scene in 19th century London. Created by Charles Hunt Sr. , this hand-coloured aquatint with etching showcases the vibrant energy of the city's postal service. In this enchanting image, we are transported to Lombard Street where horse-drawn carriages and coaches await their departure. The horses stand tall and proud, ready for their journey as they symbolize both power and grace. Gas lights illuminate the street, casting a warm glow on the scene and adding an air of mystique to the night. The post office stands prominently in the background as travelers eagerly gather around awaiting their mail or preparing for their own adventures. This print captures not only a moment in time but also reflects upon an era when communication relied heavily on physical transportation. As we gaze at this remarkable engraving, we can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves against cobblestones and feel the excitement that filled those who witnessed these royal mails departing. It serves as a reminder of how far our methods of transport have come while paying homage to an essential part of history – one that connected people across vast distances through handwritten letters and parcels. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece of artistry for us all to enjoy today; it is truly a window into another world - one filled with elegance, adventure, and anticipation.
