EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures the essence of public transport in early 19th century Paris. The image showcases an "Entreprise Generale des Omnibus" coach as it makes its way from Monnaie to Jardin du Roi, circa 1815. Painted by Denis-Auguste-Marie Raffet, this artwork now resides in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The scene is bustling with activity as the horse-drawn carriage navigates through the city streets. The coachman skillfully guides his team of horses while passengers eagerly await their destination. A diverse group of individuals can be seen inside the carriage - men and women dressed in fashionable attire, perhaps on their way to work or leisurely outings. This lithograph provides a glimpse into a time when public transportation was still evolving and becoming more accessible to all social classes. For just 25 centimes, people could travel comfortably and conveniently across different parts of the city. As we admire this historical piece of art, it's fascinating to imagine ourselves stepping back in time and experiencing what it must have been like for these travelers. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people relied on efficient modes of transportation to connect them with their daily lives – much like our modern-day taxis or buses do today.
