EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures a charming scene from the 18th century in the Austrian Netherlands. Titled "Fliguette and sedan chair" this print by Armand Jean Heins showcases the historical means of transportation during that era. The illustration is part of the renowned collection called Cortege Historique des Moyens de Transport, published in 1890. In this image, we see a woman elegantly seated inside a luxurious sedan chair, being transported along a picturesque road. She is accompanied by her trusted servant dressed in a distinctive Belgian uniform. The driver skillfully navigates the horse-drawn carriage while holding onto his whip with authority. The attention to detail in depicting both fashion and transport history is remarkable. The woman's dress reflects the height of 18th-century fashion, showcasing intricate patterns and layers that were popular during that time period. Meanwhile, the sedan chair itself exudes opulence with its ornate design and comfortable seating arrangement. This print not only offers us an insight into transportation methods but also provides glimpses into social hierarchies and daily life in Belgium at that time. It serves as a reminder of how much our modes of travel have evolved over centuries while highlighting the beauty and elegance associated with historical forms of transport like Fliguettes and sedan chairs.
