Coaches to resorts and hotels, c1859, (1938)
Coaches to resorts and hotels, c1859, (1938). Those who chose to avoid the elegance and formality of Newport and the great hotels at Saratoga (where $1, 500, 000 was spent annually), sought out places like Mountain House in the Catskills, the smaller resorts along the shore, or one of the White Mountain hotels, which were reached by coaches like these. From Adventures of America 1857-1900, by John A. Kouwenhoven. [Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London, 1938]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Coaches to resorts and hotels, c1859" takes us back in time to the late 19th century in America. The image showcases a bustling scene of transportation and leisure as people sought refuge from the elegance and formality of Newport and Saratoga's grand hotels. In this snapshot of history, we see a group of men, women, and children eagerly awaiting their turn to board one of the coaches that will take them on an adventure to their chosen destination. The coaches are beautifully adorned with intricate designs, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. Majestic horses stand patiently alongside these magnificent vehicles, ready to carry passengers through picturesque landscapes. The location is believed to be one of the White Mountain hotels or smaller resorts along the shorelines. These hidden gems offered a more relaxed atmosphere for those seeking solace away from bustling city life. As umbrellas shield individuals from potential rain showers or harsh sunlight, anticipation fills the air. This monochrome engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when road transport was still developing across America. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while appreciating our rich heritage. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an enchanting past where travel was filled with charm and discovery - truly encapsulating what it meant to explore 19th-century America.
