This print, titled "The carruca, 9th century" takes us on a journey back in time to the medieval era. Created by Paul Lacroix and based on a 9th-century manuscript from the Royal Library in Brussels, this wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of road transport during that period. In the image, we see a male driver confidently holding the reins of his horse-drawn vehicle, known as a carruca or chariot. The whip in his hand suggests that he is ready to guide his trusty steed along the path ahead. The attention to detail in this monochrome artwork allows us to appreciate not only the intricate design of the carruca but also the strength and beauty of these majestic animals.

This print serves as a reminder of how much our modes of transportation have evolved over centuries. Paul Lacroix's expertise shines through in this engraving, capturing both historical accuracy and artistic flair. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn vehicles ruled the roads and men like our driver here were essential for ensuring smooth journeys. "The carruca, 9th century" is truly a testament to Lacroix's talent as an artist and historian alike. It invites us to reflect on our own modern means of transportation while appreciating how far we've come since those ancient
