EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Etiquette of the Drive, A fashionable sleighing scene" takes us back to the elegant world of 19th-century society. The artwork, created by an anonymous American School artist in the late 1800s, captures a picturesque winter landscape filled with horse-drawn carriages gliding through freshly fallen snow. The scene depicts a bustling city street adorned with beautifully dressed men and women indulging in one of winter's most beloved pastimes – sleighing. With their fur-trimmed coats and stylish hats, they exude sophistication as they gracefully navigate through the snowy terrain. Not only does this engraving showcase fashion trends of the era but it also highlights societal norms and good manners. The title itself suggests that there was a certain etiquette associated with driving during this time period. As we delve deeper into this enchanting image, we notice various types of horse-drawn vehicles such as sleds and toboggans adding excitement to the scene. Horses ranging from racehorses to shire horses can be seen pulling these elegant carriages while farm animals graze peacefully nearby. The black-and-white illustration evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when winters were truly magical. It reminds us how weather conditions played a significant role in shaping people's daily lives during that era. Overall, this print offers not just an artistic representation but also serves as a window into history – capturing both fashion trends and social customs prevalent in 19th-century society.
