The Fashionable Drive in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia - A Glimpse into 19th Century Elegance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a time of refined manners and sophisticated leisure. Set in the picturesque Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, this illustration captures the essence of high society during that era. As we peer into this black and white cityscape, we are transported to a bustling street scene filled with elegant carriages and carts pulled by majestic horses. The air is alive with excitement as people from all walks of life gather for a leisurely drive through the park. The image showcases not only the means of transport but also highlights the importance placed on good manners and etiquette during those times. It serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over centuries. Amidst dense traffic, both urban and rural animals coexist harmoniously – racehorses gallop alongside ponies and shire horses, creating an enchanting wildlife spectacle within an urban setting. This engraving was originally created for "The National Encyclopaedia of Business and Social Forms" by James D McCabe in 1881. Its inclusion in private collections has preserved its historical significance throughout generations. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within art. It allows us to glimpse into another era while appreciating how far our world has come since then.
