EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a two-person horse-drawn carriage, known as a vis-a-vis à la anglaise or English face-to-face carriage. Built by the renowned master carriage builder, M. Herve, of rue Feydeau in Paris, this elegant vehicle was a popular choice among the aristocracy of the 18th century. The vis-a-vis was distinguished by its unique design, which allowed the passengers to face each other while seated across from one another. The carriage, as shown in this image, is adorned with intricate details, including ornate metalwork, plush velvet upholstery, and delicate floral patterns. The carriage's elegant lines and refined appearance were a testament to the wealth and status of its owners. This image is taken from "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," a journal compiled by Madame Eloffe, the dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court at Versailles. The journal, published in Paris in 1885 by Comte de Reiset, provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of the French aristocracy during the late 1700s. The vis-a-vis was just one of many luxurious carriages that graced the streets of Paris and Versailles during this period. The carriage's popularity among the nobility and courtier class reflected the importance of status and prestige in 18th-century society. Whether used for a leisurely drive through the countryside or a grand entrance into the palace, the vis-a-vis was an essential symbol of wealth and refinement.
