EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to colonial New York in the year 1750, showcasing a symbol of wealth and privilege - a Sedan chair. Owned by a prosperous resident of the city, this luxurious mode of transportation was reserved for the upper class during that era. The intricate pen and ink drawing by Howard Pyle, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of life in early America. In this scene, we see two liverymen dressed in tricorn hats carrying the Sedan chair through bustling streets. These men were responsible for transporting their wealthy master from one destination to another with utmost care and precision. The middle-class residents observe with curiosity as they witness an emblem of opulence passing before them. The Sedan chair itself is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship, reflecting both elegance and comfort. Its ornate design speaks volumes about its owner's status within society. This image serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time; from such manual methods to modern automobiles that dominate our streets today. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, it allows us to step into history and experience life as it once was in colonial New York - where social classes were clearly defined, luxury was flaunted unabashedly, and even modes of transportation became symbols of affluence.
