EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases a Sedan chair, an elegant mode of transportation used during the reign of Louis XIV in 17th century France. The image, part of a private collection, captures the essence of French history and fashion. The sedan chair itself is beautifully designed with intricate details and craftsmanship. It was specifically created for use within towns, providing comfort and convenience to its passengers. The bearers are depicted carrying the sedan chair through the streets of Paris, showcasing their strength and agility. The attire worn by both the bearers and the passenger reflects the fashion trends of that era. The clothing is elaborate and stylish, highlighting the elegance associated with French culture at that time. This print serves as a window into not only historical transport but also provides insight into 17th-century fashion. The engraving was originally featured in "Paris A Travers Les Siecles" by H Gourdon de Genouillac (Geffroy) in 1897, illustrating various aspects of Parisian life throughout different centuries. With its rich detail and historical significance, this print transports us back to a time when sedans were symbols of luxury travel in Europe's most fashionable city - Paris.
