Core04 Drayman Horses Occupations Wagon 1973
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of St. Thomass Street in 1973, where Whitbreads Shirehorses were a sight to behold. The magnificent duo of Hengist and Horsa lead the way, their powerful hooves gracefully pounding against the pavement as they pull a wagon behind them. These majestic creatures, with their sleek coats and gentle eyes, symbolize an era when horsepower was truly literal. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from the past, our attention is drawn to two figures walking just behind the horses - Gilbert and Sullivan. Perhaps they are draymen or simply admirers of these remarkable animals. Their presence adds an air of intrigue to this already mesmerizing scene. The atmosphere captured within this photograph exudes nostalgia for a time when such sights were commonplace on city streets. It serves as a reminder of how occupations have evolved over time, highlighting the vital role that horses once played in transportation and commerce. NCJ's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail: from the intricate harnesses adorning these noble beasts to the worn cobblestones beneath their hooves. This image transports us back in time, evoking feelings of wonderment at witnessing such raw strength combined with elegance. In essence, this print encapsulates not only a bygone era but also celebrates humanity's enduring connection with animals throughout history.
