EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Kingston Upon Thames in August 1936. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly "The Pickwick Coach" a magnificent horse-drawn carriage parked outside the historic Griffin public house. A true testament to England's rich literary heritage, this iconic coach pays homage to Charles Dickens' beloved novel, "The Pickwick Papers". As we delve into this snapshot from the past, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details of both the coach and its surroundings. The ornate design of the carriage speaks volumes about an era when elegance and grandeur were paramount in transportation. With its polished wooden panels, gleaming brass accents, and meticulously crafted wheels, it exudes a timeless charm that transports us straight into Dickensian London. Amidst all this splendor, we see a crowd gathered around The Griffin - locals and visitors alike captivated by this spectacle on their doorstep. It serves as a reminder that even in those simpler times, people craved entertainment and novelty. Bernard Alfieri's skilled lens captures not just an advertisement for transport or accommodation but also freezes a moment in time where tradition meets modernity; where history intertwines with everyday life. This photograph encapsulates not only the essence of Kingston Upon Thames but also showcases how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost to memory.
