EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Passengers Boarding a Pot de Chambre near the Tuileries Garden," offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Paris during the late 19th century. The Pot de Chambre, a type of horse-drawn carriage or hackney cab, is a popular mode of transportation for the fashionable crowd, as evidenced by the elegantly dressed passengers climbing aboard. The Pot de Chambre, with its distinctive high sides and large wheels, was a common sight on the streets of Paris, providing a more comfortable and private ride compared to the open-topped hackney cabs. The scene unfolds near the picturesque Tuileries Garden, a favorite destination for Parisians and tourists alike. The garden, with its lush greenery and serene ponds, offers a stark contrast to the chaotic energy of the city streets. A streetseller, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, can be seen in the background, hawking his wares to passersby. This engraving is taken from Benjamin Rotch's "Manners and Customs of the French," published in London by Sotheran in 1893. The meticulously detailed image, with its vibrant colors and intricate lines, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Paris during the Belle Époque era. The historical significance of this image, combined with its artistic merit, makes it an invaluable addition to any collection of 19th-century European history or art.
