EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 18th century takes us back in time to the Austrian Netherlands, showcasing an array of fascinating modes of transportation. In this lively scene, we are presented with a Sedan chair, heavy wagon, vinaigrette, and coupe - all essential means of travel during that era. The Sedan chair stands out as a symbol of luxury and elegance. Carried by servants dressed in exquisite Belgian costumes, it was reserved for the privileged few who desired comfort and exclusivity while traversing the roads. The heavy wagon next to it represents a more practical form of transport used for carrying goods or larger groups. The vinaigrette adds an intriguing touch to this composition. Known for its aromatic properties, this small container held scented vinegar which was used as a remedy against foul odors during long journeys. Lastly, we have the coupe - a stylish horse-drawn carriage commonly associated with aristocracy. Its sleek design and fine craftsmanship make it an object of admiration even today. Together, these diverse forms of transport offer us a glimpse into the history and evolution of travel in the Austrian Netherlands. This lithograph is part of Armand Jean Heins' "Cortege Historique des Moyens de Transport" series published in 1890; capturing not only vehicles but also providing valuable insights into society's customs and traditions at that time.
