EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Parisian streets in the early 19th century, as depicted in this vintage print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The photograph, titled "Paris Street / Buses C1830," offers a glimpse into the social and historical significance of the city's transportation system during this transformative era. In the foreground, an Ecossaise omnibus dominates the scene, its horse-drawn vehicle adorned with elegant woodwork and ornate details. Passengers climb aboard, while a newsboy in the background calls out headlines to potential customers. The Ecossaise, one of the first omnibuses to ply the streets of Paris, was a popular mode of transportation for both locals and tourists, offering a more affordable and convenient alternative to hiring a private carriage. The print also features a Dame Blanche omnibus in the background, a larger, more luxurious vehicle with a covered top and plush seating. This contrast between the two types of omnibuses highlights the social stratification of Parisian society during this time, with the wealthy opting for the more expensive and exclusive Dame Blanche, while the middle and working classes relied on the more affordable Ecossaise. This print, circa 1830, is a testament to the rich history and vibrant social scene of Paris during the 19th century. It invites us to explore the streets of this iconic city and to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells that once filled the air. Whether you're a history buff, a Paris enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this print is a must-have addition to your collection.
