3-2 Short Answer: Virtual Tour
Out of all the cultural works, I was drawn to the 1891 Abbot Downing Concord Coach
and a portrait by Eastman Johnson titled "The Girl I Left Behind Me". I found the coach
intriguing due to its longevity, while the painting grasped my interest as I was curious about
the
story behind it. Therefore, I decided to write about both. Here are the links for the cultural
works I have chosen:
1891 Abbot Downing Concord Coach
The Girl I Left Behind Me
I have selected two cultural items that share a common characteristic - they were both
created in the 1820s, although the Concord Coach was not utilized until 1891. As I read further
into this, I recalled that during that era, people did not have the luxury of material possessions
that could better the quality of their daily lives, unlike our modern options. I also see that the
Concord Coach and the portrait both possess uncomplicated and similar color palettes. This is
because there were limited choices available during that era; it was a time of simplicity.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, basic stagecoaches were for the lower class and
luxurious stagecoaches were for the upper class. A question I would ask about the 1891 Abbot
Downing Concord Coach is- What distinguished a basic stagecoach from a luxurious stagecoach
during that time? To answer the question, I suggest researching scholarly articles online or
visiting museums to gain knowledge. It may also be helpful to reach out to a stagecoach expert
for an interview.
