EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ancien et Nouveau Style (old and new coach drivers)" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. The image, a vibrant colour lithograph by Harry Finney, showcases the stark contrast between two generations of coach drivers. In this lively scene, we witness the evolution of transportation as old meets new. On one side stands an elegant figure dressed in traditional French attire: a top hat perched atop his head, a whip held firmly in hand. His horse-drawn carriage exudes timeless charm and nostalgia. On the other side stands his modern counterpart, donning a more contemporary uniform that reflects the changing times. This driver represents progress and innovation with his sleek pullman car – a symbol of technological advancement during that era. The juxtaposition between these two figures not only highlights societal shifts but also captures the essence of French culture at its core. It is through such visual narratives that we can appreciate how history unfolds before our eyes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Le Figaro Illustre in May 1893, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring our past. This print transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages ruled the streets and whispers stories about forgotten traditions and evolving landscapes.
