EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the essence of 18th-century French opulence with its depiction of a private carriage, known as a "French Wisky," making its way through the iconic Place de la Concorde. Dating back to the Louis XV period, circa 1750, this horse-drawn carriage is a stunning testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the French monarchy. The French Wisky was a type of private carriage reserved for the nobility and the wealthy, featuring luxurious interiors, fine craftsmanship, and ornate decorations. The carriage in this print is adorned with intricate carvings, gilded accents, and plush fabrics, reflecting the wealth and status of its passengers. The location of this scene, Place de la Concorde, holds significant historical importance as well. Originally named Place Louis XV, it was the site of the infamous guillotine during the French Revolution, where thousands of people, including King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, lost their lives. Today, it is a bustling hub of activity, home to iconic monuments such as the Obelisk and the Fontaine des Mers. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and elegance, when private carriages were a symbol of wealth and status, and the Place de la Concorde was a gathering place for the elite of French society.
