EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1850 depicts a Gallo-Roman woman gracefully riding a biga two-horse chariot in the picturesque Bois de Boulogne. Dressed in theatrical and fancy-dress costumes, she exudes elegance and coquetry as she confidently takes control of what we would simply call her "panier à salade" today. The handcoloured engraving, created by Gilloy after an illustration by Alfred Grevin, is part of Les Filles d'Eve, an album showcasing various historical disguises. Transported back to the 5th century Gallo-Roman era, this image captures the beauty and allure of a bygone time. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of that period, emphasizing her femininity and enhancing her natural charm. Her chariot represents not only a means of conveyance but also symbolizes power and status. The artist skillfully portrays several animals within the scene - horses, ponies, shire horses - creating a lively atmosphere reminiscent of ancient times when livestock played an integral role in daily life. This enchanting print evokes nostalgia for antiquity while celebrating the timeless beauty ideals that have captivated generations. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate this exquisite artwork from the 19th century with its attention to detail and delicate coloring. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us glimpses into different eras through artistry that transcends time itself.
