More Frightened than Hurt - A Glimpse into the Perils of 19th Century Transportation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "More Frightened than Hurt" takes us back to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation. Created in 1890 by John Charlton, this engraving offers a poignant illustration for The Graphic magazine. The image portrays a scene filled with anguish and anxiety as we witness an unfortunate accident involving a carriage and its terrified occupants. The horses, once majestic creatures now wild with fear, struggle to control their powerful bodies amidst the chaos. One can almost feel their palpable distress. Intriguingly, this artwork not only captures the physical injuries sustained but also delves into the emotional toll it takes on both humans and animals alike. It serves as a reminder that even in times where medical science was advancing rapidly, healthcare services faced limitations when dealing with such incidents. Asclepius, symbolizing medicine and healing in Greek mythology, stands tall in the background - an emblematic figure representing hope for recovery from these wounds. This piece invites contemplation on our own mortality and vulnerability while highlighting the importance of physical health and well-being. Through this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where accidents like these were all too common yet still evoked great concern among society. It is an intriguing glimpse into how far we have come in terms of transportation safety measures and medical advancements today.
