EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to August 1855, during the universal exhibition in Paris. The image showcases an intricate illustration by Honore Daumier, published in the news "Charivari" on September 4th of that year. Daumier's artwork depicts a detailed plan, cut, height, and elevation of a Paris car from that era. The artist's skillful hand brings to life every aspect of this fascinating vehicle - from its structure and design to its coupling mechanism and luggage storage. This illustration provides a unique glimpse into the transportation methods used in mid-19th century France. The scene also captures the essence of daily life in Paris at the time. A horse-drawn carriage known as a fiacre can be seen navigating through the bustling streets with a driver at its helm. Tourists and locals alike observe this street view with curiosity, highlighting how such carriages were not only means of transport but also objects of fascination for many. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography perfectly preserves this historical engraving by Daumier, allowing viewers today to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and gain insight into an important moment in French history - specifically during the world exhibition held in 1855. This remarkable print serves as a testament to how art can capture moments frozen in time while offering glimpses into different aspects of society throughout history.
