EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diverse modes of transportation in India during the 19th century. The image features three distinct forms of travel, each representing a unique aspect of Indian culture and history. In the foreground, we see an elegant sedan chair or chair palanquin, carried by several men. This traditional mode of transport was reserved for royalty and wealthy individuals who desired comfort and privacy while traveling. On the bridge, a sturdy ox cart known as a gary can be seen making its way across. These carts were commonly used to transport goods and materials, highlighting the importance of trade and commerce in Indian society. Finally, at the back stands a rath or two-ox carriage with a curtained palanquin. This luxurious form of transportation was often utilized for ceremonial purposes or special occasions. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures these various means of travel, showcasing their intricate details and vibrant colors. Created by Andrea Bernieri after Francois Solvyns' original artwork from Giulio Ferrario's renowned publication on costumes worldwide, this print offers us a glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage. As we admire this historical depiction, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time while still reflecting the traditions and customs that make each country unique.
