EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sedan chair of Charles V, a remarkable piece from the 14th century. The wood engraving, featured in Paul Lacroix's book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" published in London in 1870, transports us back to a time when road transport was vastly different. The sedan chair itself is an exquisite example of medieval furniture and transportation. It served as a mobile throne for King Charles V of France, also known as Charles the Wise or Charles le Sage. This monochrome image captures its intricate design and craftsmanship, highlighting its importance during that era. As we admire this historical artifact through the lens of modernity, it reminds us how far our methods of transport have evolved over centuries. From this sedate mode of travel to today's fast-paced vehicles, it is fascinating to witness how technology has revolutionized transportation. This print not only offers a glimpse into medieval life but also pays homage to King Charles V and Paul Lacroix's dedication to preserving history through their work. It serves as a testament to their contributions in documenting and sharing knowledge about our past. As we delve into this image captured by an unknown creator but preserved by The Print Collector, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its significance in understanding our rich cultural heritage.
