EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1880s, a time when fashion and leisure intertwined on the shores of North America. In this picturesque scene, we see two fashionable young women driving a horse-drawn carriage along the sandy beach. The image exudes elegance and sophistication, showcasing the societal norms of that era. The women's attire reflects their high social status, as they don delicate Victorian dresses adorned with intricate details. Their stylish hats protect them from the sun while adding an extra touch of glamour to their ensemble. This glimpse into history reminds us of a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages were not only means of transportation but also symbols of wealth and prestige. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we discover that it captures a moment in time at Newport or Atlantic City on the East Coast. These coastal destinations were popular among wealthy vacationers seeking respite from city life during summer months. The juxtaposition between the elegant ladies and the serene beach creates a harmonious blend of relaxation and refinement. Through this beautifully illustrated woodcut print, we are transported back to an age where travel was slower-paced yet filled with charm and grace. It serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance - reminding us how far society has come while preserving our fascination for days gone by.
