EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ox-drawn wagon and its escort, belonging to the Nervii tribe of northern Gaul. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Armand Jean Heins bring to life the ancient world of the Belgae people. The image takes us back to the 1st century BC, where we witness a group of riders dressed in traditional costumes, traveling through the picturesque landscapes of Belgium. The oxen diligently pull their wagon, laden with supplies and belongings, while the escort ensures their safe journey. As we delve into history through this illustration from "Cortege Historique des Moyens de Transport" (1890), we gain insight into how transportation played a crucial role in ancient societies. This scene represents not only a means of travel but also highlights the cultural significance attached to it. The Nervii tribe's presence reminds us that these lands were once inhabited by fierce warriors who fiercely defended their territories against Roman conquests. It is fascinating to imagine how these horseback riders navigated through challenging terrains and interacted with other tribes during their journeys. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time – witnessing not just a mode of transport but also glimpses into daily life and customs prevalent among our ancestors. It serves as a reminder that history is alive within every brushstroke captured on canvas or lithograph like this one.
