EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a moment frozen in time - the grand entrance of a rich lady into her awaiting sedan chair. Taken in 1886, this colour lithograph by Armand Jean Heins showcases the opulence and elegance that defined the early modern era. Stepping out of her two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, known as a fliguette, the wealthy woman commands attention with her regal presence. Adorned in luxurious attire, she exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The ornate details on her gown and accessories speak volumes about her status and affluence. Surrounded by footmen dressed impeccably to serve their mistress, this image transports us back to an era where wealth was displayed through extravagant modes of transportation. The sedan chair itself is a symbol of privilege and exclusivity, reserved only for those who could afford such luxuries. As we gaze at this historical scene, we are reminded of the significance placed on travel during that time period. Journeys were not merely means to reach a destination but opportunities for social display and cultural exploration. This remarkable artwork from Cortege Historique des Moyens de Transport invites us to delve into the past and witness how wealth was manifested through lavish carriages, devoted footmen, and exquisite fashion choices. It serves as a reminder that even within art prints lies stories waiting to be discovered – tales of power, prestige, and journeys taken by those who lived in an age long gone.
