EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures the essence of a bygone era in St. Petersburg, Russia. The print showcases a magnificent droshky, belonging to a wealthy merchant or bourgeois of the city. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every element of this horse-drawn carriage is depicted with precision. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the beautifully adorned horses that pull the droshky. Their sleek bodies and intricate harnesses add an air of elegance to the scene. A skilled driver sits atop his perch, confidently guiding both horses and passengers through bustling streets. Seated inside are a male and female figure from the bourgeoisie class, dressed in fashionable attire befitting their social status. The woman's headdress adds an extra touch of opulence to her ensemble while her companion dons a stylish hat. This artwork not only offers us a glimpse into 19th-century Russian society but also highlights the significance of horse-drawn carriages during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over centuries. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print stands as a testament to French artistry capturing foreign cultures with great skill and appreciation for historical accuracy. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today, transporting them back in time to experience life among St. Petersburg's elite merchants and their luxurious mode of travel - the droshky.
