EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1889 titled "Coach and horses" captures a significant moment in history. The image showcases the abuse of the bearing rein, a practice that is now widely considered cruel to animals. Published in The Graphic on August 17th, 1889, this illustration sheds light on the Victorian era's transportation methods. In this scene, we see a female driver confidently steering her carriage pulled by two majestic horses. However, what makes this image particularly thought-provoking is the absence of Ellimans products - known for their use in horse care during that time period. This omission suggests that even then, people were starting to question the effectiveness and ethics behind such practices. The engraving highlights not only the concept of cruelty towards animals but also reflects societal changes regarding women's roles in transportation during the late 19th century. It portrays a lady taking charge as she drives passengers along a road. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in recognizing animal welfare concerns. This historical artifact stands as evidence of our evolving understanding and compassion towards our fellow creatures who share our world with us.
