A Rush across Europe to Sofia with a Queen's Messenger
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite engraving that captures the excitement and adventure of travel in the late 19th century. The image takes us back to January 1886, where we witness a thrilling journey unfolding before our eyes. In this scene, we find ourselves aboard a ship navigating the Danube River. Snow blankets the landscape as passengers eagerly make their way towards their destination. A bustling railway station can be seen in the background, symbolizing progress and connectivity. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly "Le Sleeping Car" a luxurious international sleeping car company that catered to discerning travelers. Inside its opulent confines, we catch glimpses of well-dressed individuals enjoying the comforts it offers - from smoking lounges to sumptuous dining experiences. As our gaze extends beyond Le Sleeping Car, we observe horses being prepared for transport alongside other farm animals. This juxtaposition highlights both traditional means of transportation and modern advancements like steamboats and railways. The presence of a Queen's Messenger adds an air of importance and urgency to this already vibrant scene. With his trusty horse by his side, he represents diplomacy in motion as he rushes across Europe towards Sofia – capital city of Bulgaria at that time. This remarkable engraving not only showcases various modes of transport but also invites us into an era when travel was truly an extraordinary experience filled with wonderment and discovery.
