EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling High Street of Canterbury, Kent. The scene is alive with activity as a magnificent coach and horses stand outside the Coach and Waggon Office, ready to transport passengers on their journey. Groups of people eagerly gather around, perhaps awaiting their turn or bidding farewell to loved ones. The level of detail captured in this image is truly remarkable. Every stroke and shade tells a story, transporting us straight into the heart of 19th-century England. It's fascinating to note that this drawing was actually copied from a painting by Thomas Sidney Cooper dating all the way back to 1827 - an incredible testament to the enduring beauty and significance of this location. C G Harper, renowned for his artistic talent between 1892-1933, has skillfully brought this historical moment back to life through his illustration. His meticulous attention to detail allows us not only to appreciate the architectural charm of High Street but also provides insight into daily life during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were commonplace along these cobblestone streets. This artwork serves as both a visual delight and an important reminder of our rich cultural heritage.
