"Journeying through time and continents, the ox cart remains a symbol of tradition and resilience. From the traditionally painted oxcart wheels in Costa Rica to the Spanish family's ox-cart in California during the 1800s, these humble vehicles have carried stories across generations. Picking violets near Parma, Italy, captured in a chromolitho print, showcases how ox carts were once integral to daily life. Even Puritan families migrating to Connecticut in 1635 relied on these sturdy carts for their arduous journey. The artistry of Ando Hiroshige comes alive in Otsu, Soii Chaya's depiction of an ox cart from ca. 1834 Japan. Meanwhile, September brings us back to medieval times with Paul Limbourg and Jean Colombe's enchanting portrayal of an ox cart at Chateau de Saumur. Venturing further eastward, we find ourselves amidst the ancient temple city of Bagan (also known as Pagan) in Myanmar (Burma), where an ox cart stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions. In Church Square Pretoria circa 1902 by Donald McCracken, an ox cart becomes part of South Africa's history. Edward Mitchell Bannister captures rural life beautifully with his painting "Driving Home the Cows" from 1881—a scene complete with workers using an ox cart near Leon, Nicaragua. From Europe to Central America and beyond—ox carts continue to leave their mark on different cultures worldwide. The Explosion of the Cart festival in Florence sees ornately decorated carts taking center stage while travellers find solace on Lake Doiran's banks according to Frederick A. Lyons' notes on Albania from 1875. Through this diverse collection of images and stories spanning centuries and continents—it is clear that no matter where you go or when you look—the enduring presence of the humble yet mighty ox cart will always remind us of our shared human history.
