The sedan chair, a symbol of elegance and luxury, has been depicted in various artworks throughout history. In the oil painting "View of Versailles from the Place d'Armes, " we catch a glimpse of this magnificent mode of transportation amidst the grandeur of the palace grounds. The artist captures its regal presence as it carries nobles through the opulent gardens. In William Hogarth's engraving "ELECTION. Chairing the Member, " we witness a lively scene where politicians are paraded through town on sedan chairs to celebrate their victory. This artwork provides us with a fascinating insight into political customs and social hierarchy during that era. Thomas Cole's painting "The Return" transports us to an idyllic landscape where nature intertwines with human existence. Amidst this serene setting, a sedan chair stands out as an intriguing juxtaposition between man-made contrivances and untouched beauty. Moving across continents, we find ourselves in India, where sedans chairs were commonly used for transport. In "The Rope Bridge at Serinagur, " we see locals crossing precarious bridges while carrying these elegant palanquins – showcasing both practicality and cultural richness. Calcutta comes alive in another artwork depicting colonial architecture titled "INDIA: CALCUTTA. " Amongst British buildings like The Old Court House and Writers Building, one can spot sedan chairs being carried by young bearers – highlighting their significance within Indian society during that time. Turning our attention to Mesoamerica, Waldeck's collection offers glimpses into ancient civilizations' daily lives. Box 9 reveals stunning prints featuring indigenous people using sedans chairs for ceremonial processions or important events – shedding light on their cultural practices and artistic traditions. Meanwhile, Francois Solvyns' copperplate engravings present detailed illustrations of Indian transport systems including different types of sedan chairs such as miyana, jhalidar palki, copala palki, and long palanquins.
