EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Les Carrosses a cinq sols" which were the first example of public transport in France. Dating back to the 17th century, these French public carriages provided a means of transportation for the people of Paris between 1662 and 1677. The image, illustrated by Eugene Courboin around 1912, depicts one such carriage on its route from Porte Sainte Antoine to Luxemburg. The scene captures the bustling streets of old Paris, with men going about their daily activities amidst the backdrop of historical architecture. These carriages were an integral part of city life during this period, symbolizing progress and convenience in transportation. The illustration beautifully portrays the elegance and charm associated with this mode of travel. With intricate details and vibrant colors, it transports us back in time to experience a slice of French history. The artist's skillful rendering brings to life not only the physical appearance but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded that even centuries ago, cities like Paris had already begun developing efficient systems for moving people from one place to another. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant quest for better ways to navigate through urban landscapes.
