EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to London in 1860, where a scene of coal delivery unfolds before our eyes. The illustration, taken from a children's book of that era, showcases the essential role of coal as fuel for transportation. In this image, we see a sturdy wagon loaded with coal making its way through the bustling streets. The wagon is equipped with broad wheels specifically designed to navigate the rough and uneven roads smoothly. This ingenious feature ensures that even on bad roads, the passage remains uninterrupted and efficient. The wood engraving technique used to create this illustration adds depth and texture to the image, capturing every intricate detail with precision. It beautifully portrays both the strength of the horse pulling the wagon and the resilience required for transporting such heavy loads. Beyond its historical significance, this picture serves as a reminder of how vital coal was during that period – not only as an energy source but also for powering various modes of transport. It offers a glimpse into London's past when horse-drawn wagons were commonplace sights on its streets. As we admire this evocative snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure smooth deliveries despite challenging conditions.
