Carriage Day Out Heritage Image Partnership Outing Rain Trip Umbrella Horse Drawn Vehicle Unreliable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Window Studies, 1888" takes us back to the unpredictable summer weather of the late 19th century. In this satirical cartoon from Punch, or the London Charivari, we witness a school embarking on their annual outing amidst a downpour. The scene depicts a horse-drawn carriage filled with children eagerly peering out of the windows. However, instead of enjoying a sunny day out as anticipated, they find themselves caught in an unexpected rainstorm. Each child is armed with an umbrella to shield themselves from the relentless showers. This engraving serves as both a caricature and social commentary on the concept of unreliable weather during that era. It humorously highlights how even then people had to adapt and make do with unforeseen circumstances. As we gaze at this heritage image partnership print by an unknown creator, it transports us back in time and reminds us that despite technological advancements over centuries, some aspects of life remain constant – like our dependence on umbrellas when faced with inclement weather. Whether used for educational purposes or simply admired for its artistic value, this intriguing piece offers a glimpse into daily life in the 19th century while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were still prevalent modes of transportation.
