EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing a wooden raft on the mighty Danube River. The drawing by Lancelot beautifully illustrates the essential role of this traditional mode of transport for both goods and people during that era. The image is part of Victor Duruys' remarkable journey from Paris to Bucharest in 1860, as depicted in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton. It offers a glimpse into daily life along the Danube, where rafts like these were commonly used to navigate its waters. The scene captures the rustic charm of river transportation with its simple yet sturdy construction. The raft is laden with various goods, highlighting its importance as a means for trade and commerce. A rower can be seen skillfully maneuvering through the currents while an antler-adorned hut stands proudly on board, serving as shelter for those traveling on this vessel. Linen hangs out to dry, adding a touch of domesticity amidst this bustling river scene. The engraving expertly conveys not only the practicality but also the beauty found within these floating vessels. Through this historical snapshot captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an integral part of public transport history along one of Europe's most iconic rivers - the Danube.
