EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to 19th century Paris, where the bustling streets were filled with unique modes of transportation. In this particular print titled "Parisian transport: omnibus known as 'the Scottish'" we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads. The focal point of the image is an ornate omnibus, affectionately referred to as "the Scottish". Its intricate details and elegant design showcase the craftsmanship that went into creating these iconic vehicles. The driver sits proudly atop his perch, skillfully maneuvering through the busy city streets. Surrounding the omnibus are other forms of transport - fiacres and various horse-drawn carriages - further emphasizing the reliance on horses for getting around in this era. The presence of these majestic animals adds a touch of liveliness to the scene, reminding us of their crucial role in daily life during that time period. Denis Auguste Raffet's lithography beautifully captures both the charm and functionality of Parisian transport in the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages were not just a means of getting from one place to another but also an integral part of Parisian culture. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this print serves as a historical artifact, preserving memories from a time long gone. It allows us to appreciate how far transportation has come while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when traveling through Paris meant
