EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BOSTON POST ROAD, 1815" takes us back to a bygone era of transportation and travel. The image depicts a relay on the old Boston Post Road in the year 1815, beautifully captured through a wood engraving in 1886 by Thure de Thulstrup. In this scene, we are transported to a snowy winter day as an elegant stage coach pulled by powerful horses makes its way along the road. A group of men can be seen attending to the coach, ensuring that it is ready for its journey ahead. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as travelers prepare for their adventure or perhaps return home after a long trip. The setting exudes historical charm with an inn nestled alongside the road, offering respite and warmth to weary travelers. Notably, among the individuals present is an African American man who plays his part in this bustling scene—a reminder of diverse contributions even during those times. Through this remarkable artwork from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded of how crucial postal services were in connecting distant places during early America. This evocative print serves as both a visual delight and a window into our rich history—a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance when faced with challenging conditions.
