EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph transports us back to the time of the Crusades in the 11th century. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with litter bearers and loaded pack mules, all essential elements of transportation during this era. Created by Armand Jean Heins, this print is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Cortege Historique des Moyens de Transport" in 1890. Intriguingly, we witness Belgian men dressed in medieval costumes as they navigate their way along a road. The men are diligently carrying heavy loads on their backs while walking alongside the pack mules that are also laden with supplies. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the history and transport methods prevalent during this period. The composition exudes an air of movement and activity as these individuals go about their journey. It serves as a reminder of how travel was conducted centuries ago, highlighting both the challenges faced by those who embarked on long journeys and the reliance placed upon animals for assistance. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that even amidst challenging circumstances such as war or religious conflict, people found ways to navigate vast distances using available resources. This print not only captures an important moment from our past but also invites contemplation about human resilience and adaptability throughout different periods in history.
