EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Porteur (de chaise); Sedan chairman; Sanftentrager" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of European transportation. The image showcases an engraving by the European School, depicting various means of conveyance from that era. The central focus of the artwork is a sedan chair, carried by a porteur (chairman) in traditional attire. This mode of transport was popular among aristocrats and wealthy individuals who desired comfort and exclusivity while traveling through bustling city streets or grand estates. The detailed engraving also features other forms of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and wagons, highlighting the diverse range of vehicles used during this time period. Each element is meticulously illustrated with precision and accuracy, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking knowledge about historical modes of travel. This print originates from "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" a comprehensive dictionary published in France in 1873. It aimed to provide readers with an illustrated guide to everyday words in French, English, and German languages. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to a time when these conveyances were essential for daily life. It serves as a reminder not only of our past but also how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in transportation today.
