Ballad Daily Driver Driving Elizabethan Roxburgh Servants Song Songs
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the daily life of a nobleman. The image showcases a distinguished nobleman seated comfortably in his luxurious carriage, surrounded by an air of elegance and opulence. The woodcut illustration, taken from A Book of Roxburghe Ballads, offers a glimpse into the world of English nobility during this era. The nobleman's carriage stands as a symbol of status and power, reflecting the wealth and influence he possesses. With its intricate design and fine craftsmanship, it is clear that no expense was spared in creating this mode of transport. As we delve deeper into the scene, we notice the presence of servants attending to their master's needs. A driver skillfully guides the horses with precision while another servant stands ready to assist at any moment. This depiction highlights not only the reliance on servants for transportation but also emphasizes social hierarchy within society. Through this evocative image captured by an unknown English artist centuries ago, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages were essential for travel among aristocrats. It serves as a reminder that even in times long gone by, societal structures remained intact – with noblemen enjoying lives filled with luxury while relying on loyal servants to ensure their comfort and safety throughout their journeys.
