EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the elegance and sophistication of a light carriage called a diligence or coupe car from the court of Marie Antoinette. The delicate detailing and intricate design of this 18th-century mode of transportation reflect the opulence and luxury associated with the French aristocracy during that time. The image transports us back to Versailles, where nobles and members of high society would travel in style in similar horse-drawn carriages. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in creating such a vehicle for only two passengers exemplify the extravagance and refinement of Marie Antoinette's court. As we admire this piece from Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times by Le Comte de Reiset, we can imagine the Queen herself riding in such a carriage, accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting. The journal of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker to the Queen, provides further insight into the fashion trends and customs of this glamorous era. This print serves as a reminder of an era marked by grandeur, beauty, and sophistication – a time when even something as simple as a carriage was designed with utmost care and elegance.
