EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating image from the 1890s by British artist John Charlton, depicts a chaotic and tense moment on a bustling Victorian street. The black and white print, originally published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," captures the aftermath of a horse-drawn vehicle collision. In the center of the scene, a man in a suit, with a look of shock and faint, leans against a wall, supported by a policeman. The horse, rearing up on its hind legs, appears ready to bolt, its eyes wide with fear. Bystanders, some of whom have fainted or are in a state of shock, crowd around the scene, their faces etched with concern and disbelief. The horse-drawn vehicle, with its wheels still spinning, lies crumpled in the background, a testament to the force of the impact. The collision has disrupted the usual hustle and bustle of the street, with people and animals momentarily frozen in time. John Charlton masterfully captures the raw emotion and chaos of the incident, inviting the viewer to imagine the events leading up to this moment. The print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 19th century and the era of horse-drawn transportation. The image is a poignant reminder of the risks and uncertainties that came with everyday life during this period. Overall, "More Frightened Than Hurt" is a powerful and evocative work of art that invites reflection on the human condition and the unexpected twists and turns that life can take. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the drama and emotion of a moment frozen in time.
