EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of transportation history - the Great Western Railway Horse Drawn Delivery Van from around 1910. This van, specifically designed for the conveyance of parcels from passenger trains, represents an era when horses and wagons were vital components of everyday life. The image captures this beautifully crafted vehicle standing proudly on a road, ready to embark on its delivery journey. The attention to detail is astonishing; every inch of the van exudes elegance and functionality. Its sturdy wooden frame is adorned with intricate carvings and polished brass accents that reflect the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Standing beside this magnificent horse-drawn marvel are two proud drivers, dressed in their smart uniforms. Their expertise in handling these majestic creatures is evident as they patiently await their next assignment. In an age before motorized vehicles dominated our roads, this delivery van was a lifeline for countless communities along the Great Western Railway network. It served as a crucial link between passengers arriving by train and those eagerly awaiting their parcels at local destinations. Preserved within the STEAM Museum of the GWR, this print not only immortalizes an iconic mode of transport but also pays homage to all those who relied upon it for essential goods and services during simpler times.
