EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early days of public transportation in Paris. The image showcases the first horse tramways known as "l'Americain" that were established in 1858, connecting Place de la Concorde and Bois de Boulogne. The anonymous illustration from 1925 captures a moment frozen in history, depicting a bustling scene with a tram filled with passengers making its way through the streets of Paris. The driver can be seen guiding the horses, showcasing their important role in this mode of transport. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when animal traction was at the forefront of public transportation. It reminds us of how far we have come since then, with modern vehicles now dominating our cities. The monochrome tones add depth and character to the image, highlighting every detail from the intricate coupling system to the majestic horses pulling the tram along. This artwork is part of a private collection and serves as a valuable historical document. As we admire this engraving by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported back to an age where trams were not only functional but also added charm and elegance to city life. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at the expense of tradition, yet it is essential to appreciate our past while embracing new advancements in technology and transportation systems.
