EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris, where public transport was a sight to behold. The image showcases a beautifully colored engraving by Denis-Auguste-Marie Raffet, depicting a cab gracefully navigating its way through the city's vibrant streets. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic horses that powerfully pull the carriage forward. These magnificent creatures symbolize both strength and elegance as they effortlessly maneuver through the busy thoroughfare. Their harnesses gleam under the warm sunlight, reflecting their importance in this era's transportation system. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that public transport played an integral role in everyday life during this period. The cab represents not only a means of getting from one place to another but also serves as a testament to progress and modernity within society. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of Parisian street scenes with precision and finesse. From the architectural beauty lining each side of the road to pedestrians going about their daily routines, Raffet masterfully brings together all elements that make up this lively urban landscape. This enchanting engraving allows us to travel back in time and witness firsthand how public transport shaped cities like Paris during the 19th century—a true testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit for efficient mobility options throughout history.
