“Looking at this picture, one discovers something new in it every time. This must have been a proper little coaching station. I love the detail of the four maids in the upper windows with their caps on, so very curious as to who’s coming here, how much luggage they have, what they’re wearing and so on. And all the shop keepers- saddler, tea merchant, stationer- are ogling. One character is rushing to catch the coach with a sealed letter. One forgets how the mail then went. When the coach arrived in m little Hungarian village, the great thing was to watch who came in and who went out. We lived on a street corner where you could see everything.” Andras Kalman, 1988
