EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1859, capturing a moment in history when Eugenie, Empress of the French, was being carried to the thermal baths at St. Sauveur in the picturesque French Pyrenees. The wood engraving, created by an American artist during that time period, beautifully depicts this scene. Intriguingly, we see a bustling crowd gathered along the town's streets as they witness this grand procession. Men and women dressed in traditional attire can be seen mingling with children who curiously observe from afar. The bearer of the sedan chair stands tall and strong, shouldering his important responsibility with pride. Eugenie herself is portrayed regally within her luxurious mode of transportation - a sedan chair adorned with intricate details. As Empress of France, she exudes grace and elegance while being transported through this charming town. The image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into historical transportation methods and societal norms prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of how traditions evolve over time yet continue to shape our understanding of culture and heritage. Displayed proudly by The Granger Collection on their Art on Demand platform, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and appreciate both its visual beauty and cultural significance without any commercial intentions attached.
