EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "French Travelling, or the First Stage from Calais, 1792" captures a chaotic scene from the 18th century. Created by F Dukes, George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), and Thomas Rowlandson, this illustration showcases the cruelty and anger prevalent during that time. In this satirical image, a horse-drawn stagecoach is seen galloping along a country road towards Calais in France. The passengers inside are shouting and whipping their horses mercilessly, while an angry female traveler stands up to express her frustration. The male figures appear cruel and unsympathetic towards both the animals and their fellow travelers. This artwork reflects the harsh reality of travel during that era when transportation was arduous and often involved mistreatment of animals. It highlights the social caricature prevalent in society at that time. The monochrome composition adds to its dramatic effect, emphasizing the intensity of emotions depicted within it. Through this print's detailed portrayal of collapsing coaches, distressed horses, and frustrated passengers, viewers are transported back to a tumultuous period in history. "French Travelling" serves as a reminder not only of our progress in transportation but also how far we have come in terms of animal welfare. It prompts us to reflect on our past actions while appreciating present-day advancements in travel ethics.
