EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "West Country Mails at the Gloucester Coffee House, Piccadilly, c1830,1943" takes us back in time to witness an important aspect of transportation and communication in 19th century England. The image showcases coaches carrying mail between London and the counties in the south-west of England. These coaches were not only responsible for delivering letters but also accommodated passengers, although conditions were undoubtedly cramped. The Post Office employees or letter carriers can be easily identified by their vibrant red uniforms amidst a bustling street scene. On the right side of the photograph stands Joseph Miller's establishment, a Fish Salesman at Billingsgate. This glimpse into everyday life highlights how various professions coexisted within close proximity during this era. The print captures a moment frozen in time with its intricate details meticulously engraved by an unknown creator. It is part of Thomas Burke's book "English Inns" published by Collins in 1943. As we observe this historical snapshot, we are transported to a different world where horse-drawn coaches dominated road transport and horses played an integral role as they pulled these vehicles through busy streets. This image serves as a reminder of how far our methods of transportation have evolved over time while also providing insight into social history and daily life in Britain during the 19th century.
