8666237 Abreise In Der Kalesche / Departure in the carriage (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Abreise In Der Kalesche. Zu einer kleinen Reise traf man fruher oft grossere und umstandlichere Vorbereitungen als heute zu einer Weltreise, da Reisen anstrengend und der Aufenthalt auf der Landstrasse oft nicht ungefahrlich war. Der haufig schlecht gefederte Wagen war ungeheizt und bei einem Rad- oder Achsenbruch musste man oft lange in Schmutz oder Kalte auf der Landstrasse stehen. Translation: Departure in the Carriage. In the past, preparations for a short trip were often larger and more complicated than they are today for a trip around the world, since traveling was strenuous and staying on the country road was often not without its dangers. The car, which often had poor suspension, was unheated and if a wheel or axle broke, you often had to stand in the dirt or cold on the country road for a long time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) titled "Abreise In Der Kalesche / Departure in the carriage" transports us back to a time when embarking on even a short journey required elaborate preparations. The scene depicts a group of people setting off on their carriage, surrounded by luggage and supplies for the road ahead. In earlier times, traveling was not as convenient or comfortable as it is today. The carriages were often poorly suspended and unheated, making for a bumpy and chilly ride. If any part of the carriage broke down, travelers would find themselves stranded on the country road, exposed to dirt and cold weather until help arrived. Despite these challenges, there is an air of excitement and anticipation in this image as the travelers eagerly begin their adventure. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation and travel safety. This illustration was originally created for Deutsche Kulturbilder in 1934 and captures a moment in history where every journey was an opportunity for discovery and exploration. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring this nostalgic scene to life, inviting viewers to imagine themselves stepping into that carriage and embarking on their own unforgettable journey.
