EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Airy Nothings, or scraps and naughts and odd-cum-shorts, in a circumbendibus hop, step, and jump" takes us back to the whimsical world of 19th-century transportation. Created by Olio Rogmarole and masterfully engraved by George Hunt in 1825, this hand-coloured engraving is a delightful portrayal of a coaching accident that was all too common during those times. The scene depicted showcases the chaotic aftermath of a crash involving a horse-drawn carriage. With its humorous undertones and intricate details, the print invites us to explore every nook and cranny. From the scattered belongings to the disheveled passengers desperately trying to regain their composure, it captures both the absurdity and unpredictability of travel in that era. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate how this artwork provides an insight into historical modes of travel. The term "circumbendibus" refers to a roundabout route taken by coaches on long journeys – often resulting in unexpected mishaps like this one. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and innovation, accidents were an ever-present reality. Now preserved within a private collection but originally part of The Stapleton Collection, this charming print offers not only amusement but also glimpses into our shared past. Its vibrant colors bring life to each character's misfortune while reminding us that sometimes even "airy nothings" can lead to unforeseen adventures along life's journey.
