EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos in Paris circa 1870-1886, transports us back in time to witness the meticulous maintenance and cleaning of Count Ducos' carriage. The image showcases a group of employees diligently tending to the elegant vehicle, their aprons serving as shields against dirt and grime. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and attention to detail, with each worker focused on their specific task. A man can be seen carefully scrubbing the carriage's exterior with a bucket of water nearby, while another employee tends to the hooves of the horses pulling the fiacre. Their footwear, adorned with traditional sabots, speaks volumes about their occupation as they ensure every aspect is immaculate. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into 19th-century French society. It highlights both the laborious nature of transportation upkeep during that era and the importance placed on maintaining appearances within aristocratic circles. Paul Emile Theodore Ducos skillfully frames this snapshot of history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Leonard de Selva's private collection today, we are reminded of how photography has preserved moments like these for generations to come.
