EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1885, where we find ourselves immersed in the bustling streets of a French city. In this snapshot of history, we witness two distinct carriages gracefully navigating through the cobblestone roads. The first carriage, known as a cabriolet, exudes elegance with its sleek design and refined details. Its open-top structure allows passengers to enjoy the fresh air while traveling in style. The second carriage is a coucou, a two-wheeled cabriolet that served as public transport around Paris during this era. It was widely used by locals and visitors alike for their daily commutes. Illustrated by Eugene Courboin in the early 20th century, this image captures not only the physical beauty of these carriages but also provides insight into the transportation culture of 19th-century France. As we gaze upon this artwork from "La Locomotion a Travers le Temps" our imagination runs wild with visions of busy streets filled with similar carriages and people going about their daily lives. This piece serves as a reminder of how far transportation has come since then, showcasing both the charm and practicality that once accompanied horse-drawn carriages on city streets. It invites us to appreciate our modern means of travel while cherishing glimpses into our rich historical past.
