EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 19th century, showcasing a scene from the old Boston Post Road in 1815. The wood engraving, created by Thure de Thulstrup and reproduced in 1886, beautifully captures the essence of this historic era. In this image, we are transported to a snowy winter day where a relay station stands proudly along the road. A stagecoach is parked outside, ready for its next journey through the North American countryside. The horse-drawn carriage symbolizes an important mode of transportation during that time period. As we observe closely, we notice an African American man standing near the coach - perhaps he is one of the drivers or workers at this inn along the roadside. This inclusion reminds us of America's diverse history and highlights how people from all backgrounds played vital roles in shaping our nation's development. The dirt road leading up to the relay station adds authenticity to this snapshot from history. It serves as a reminder that travel was not always smooth and comfortable like it is today; instead, it required resilience and perseverance. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into early American life on one of its most significant roads. It sparks curiosity about what stories unfolded within these walls and invites us to appreciate how far transportation has come since then.
