EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique mode of public transport known as the "cuckoo" or "chamber pot" which was widely used in France from the 18th to the 19th century. The anonymous illustration, dating back to 1925, showcases this fascinating piece of history that has long been forgotten. The image portrays a bustling scene with a circulation of people and animals. A driver can be seen guiding the horse-drawn vehicle through the streets of France, providing transportation for its passengers. The coupling between the horses is evident, showcasing their strength and coordination as they pull this peculiar contraption. The vibrant colors bring life to this engraving, highlighting both the beauty and functionality of animal traction during that era. Horses were an integral part of daily life in rural areas, serving not only as transportation but also as valuable assets on farms. This print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when wildlife played an essential role in human activities. It serves as a reminder of our historical reliance on animals for various purposes and invites us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti allows us to appreciate and celebrate our rich cultural heritage while acknowledging our progress towards more modern means of transportation.
