"Unveiling the Extravagance: Sedan Chairs through Time" Step into a world of opulence and elegance as we explore the captivating history of sedan chairs. From The Prince of Wales's Indian Gifts Collection to The Queen's Highway in the Sixteenth Century, these engravings serve as portals to an era where luxury knew no bounds. In Sir Sanders Duncomb's iconic engraving, "Punchs Anniversaries - No 7. Sedan Chairs First Introduced into England, " we witness the birth of this lavish mode of transportation on September 27th, 1634. It was a moment that forever changed English society, introducing a new level of comfort and prestige. Traveling across continents, sedans transcended cultural boundaries. A Japanese Lady in her Palanquin mesmerizes us with her grace and poise captured in an enchanting engraving. Meanwhile, The Eastern Question takes us on a journey through Constantinople as it ventures to a Masquerade Ball in Pera – an exquisite blend of tradition and celebration. The allure extends even further eastward with Prince Henry of Prussia setting foot on Chinese soil for the first time. This litho transports us to uncharted territories filled with wonder and curiosity. Sketches in Loo Choo offer glimpses into exotic landscapes while Prestige Alone unveils bustling street scenes in Canton – both showcasing how they were woven seamlessly into daily life. Cross-country adventures unfold before our eyes through vivid engravings like Cross-Country Travelling in India and A Day's Shooting in China. These images transport us back to eras when exploration was at its peak, revealing not only the grandeur but also highlighting their practicality amidst diverse terrains. Japanese Painting captures another facet by depicting individuals crossing Oho-E-Ga-Wa province's river using sedan chairs – blending artistry with functionality effortlessly.
