EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 18th century titled "English Travelling, or the First Stage from Dover". Created by artist Thomas Rowlandson, this illustration showcases the frustrations and chaos of road transport during that era. The image depicts a horse-drawn stagecoach rearing up as an angry female passenger shouts and whips at the horses. The concept of travel is portrayed in a satirical manner, highlighting the challenges faced by both men and women on their journeys. The monochrome composition adds to the dramatic effect, emphasizing the intensity of emotions in this chaotic moment. Located in Dover, Kent, England, this artwork provides a glimpse into historical transportation practices within Britain. It reflects not only the difficulties faced by travelers but also serves as social commentary on society's frustrations with inefficient modes of transportation. The collaboration between Thomas Rowlandson and George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds) brings this satire to life with over two hundred illustrations featured in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century". This print offers viewers a window into 18th-century British culture while reminding us of how far we have come in terms of modern transportation systems.
