A mid 19th century oil on canvas of the Louth London Royal Mail coach crossing countryside by Charles Cooper Henderson (English, 1803-1877). The coach wearing the correct Royal Mail livery, black with red door and lower panels, Post Office red wheels, and The Royal Coat of Arms on the door. Signed with discreet monogram to one of the packages on the roof "CH". Complete in original Hay & Lyall gilt frame. The reverse bears the remnants of the framer’s label “Hay & Lyall, Decorators, Carvers, Gilders & Printsellers to the Queen, 73 Union Street Aberdeen, established 1811”.
