EDITORS COMMENTS
This trio of historical views transports us back in time to Austria during the 19th century. The first image (52) showcases a German postillion, elegantly dressed in a yellow jacket, as he stands beside a horse-drawn carriage. His regal attire and confident demeanor reflect the refined elegance of the era. Moving on to the second view (53), we are greeted by the enchanting sight of the Prater pleasure gardens and amusement park in Vienna. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the hand-coloured copperplate engraving bring the bustling scene to life, with merry-go-rounds, Ferris wheels, and other delightful attractions entertaining visitors. Lastly, the third view (54) offers a breathtaking panorama of the city of Vienna, showcasing its grand architecture, winding streets, and picturesque landscapes. The intricate details of the buildings and the lively activity in the streets create a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting us to explore this historic city. These captivating views are taken from "Scenes in Europe," a children's book published by John Harris in London in 1819. The book, authored by Rev. Isaac Taylor, aimed to provide amusement and instruction for young travelers, making history an engaging and educational experience. The first image also features a Polish gentleman, adding to the diverse representation of European cultures in the book. Other scenes from the collection depict various historical sites, such as the forest of Hamelin, the inflammable springs and cave of Peter Wild, and the city of Cracow, among others. These exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engravings offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe during the Regency and Georgian periods.
