EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Edwin Fownes, a notable British coachman from the 19th century. Created by William Roffe in 1893, this portrait showcases Fownes' distinguished appearance and his significant role in history. In 1837, he had the honor of conveying Queen Victoria's inaugural speech to her first Parliament from London to Tunbridge Wells. Fownes is depicted wearing traditional Victorian attire, complete with a top hat and sideburns that were fashionable during that era. His well-groomed whiskers add an air of sophistication to his overall look. The engraving beautifully captures his confident gaze and dignified demeanor. This image was featured on the front cover of "Bailys Magazine of Sports and Pastimes". Volume LIX, published by Vinton & Co Ltd in London. It serves as a testament to Fownes' profession as a coachman while also highlighting the importance of equestrian sports during that time. The artist, William Roffe, skillfully portrays Fownes' character through intricate details such as his clothing and facial features. This print provides us with a glimpse into the life of an esteemed individual who played a crucial role in delivering important messages for royalty during one of Britain's most iconic eras.
