EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 19th century Italy, where the elegant tradition of sedan chairs was still prevalent. The etching, created by an Italian artist named Pasquale Mattej, beautifully captures the essence of this unique mode of transportation. The ornate sedan chair featured in the image is a true work of art. Its golden accents and intricate details showcase the craftsmanship that went into its creation. Two men, dressed in traditional Neapolitan attire, serve as bearers for this luxurious vehicle while a middle-aged woman sits comfortably inside as a passenger. The scene depicted here offers a glimpse into the daily life and customs of Naples during that era. Sedan chairs were commonly used by affluent individuals who wished to travel through narrow streets or avoid walking long distances. They provided not only convenience but also an opportunity for socializing and displaying one's status. Francesco de Bourcards' Usi e Costumi di Napoli serves as the source for this remarkable etching, providing historical context and further enriching our understanding of Italian culture at that time. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of art, we are transported to another world - a world where elegance met practicality and where every detail mattered. It reminds us that even modes of transportation can be works of art themselves.
