This 17th-century transport scene, captured in a vibrant color lithograph by Armand Jean Heins in 1886, takes us back to an era of horse-drawn carriages and the art of travel. The print showcases a bustling street with a public carriage gracefully gliding through the background while a private carriage commands attention in the foreground. This exquisite illustration is part of the renowned Cortege Historique des Moyens de Transport series. The artist's meticulous attention to detail transports us into this early modern world where horses were the engines that propelled society forward. The wagons and carriages depicted here serve as symbols of status and luxury, reflecting both practicality and elegance during this period. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of how far transportation has evolved over time. It invites us to appreciate our present-day modes of travel while also marveling at the ingenuity and craftsmanship required for such intricate horse-drawn vehicles.
