1635 Accompanied Carriages Footmen Nobleman Private Rides Running
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts a nobleman enjoying a leisurely ride in his ornate C17 carriage, accompanied by two running footmen. The carriage, adorned with intricate carvings and rich fabrics, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the noble class during this era. The nobleman, dressed in fashionable attire, sits comfortably within the carriage, seemingly at ease as he gazes out at the passing scenery. The running footmen, dressed in livery and wearing tall, plumed hats, are seen in the process of changing the horses that pull the carriage. This was a common practice during this period, as it allowed the horses to rest and be replaced with fresh ones, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey. The print, dated March 1635, provides a glimpse into the private transport system of the nobility during the 17th century. Carriages were a symbol of wealth and status, and the ability to travel in such luxury was a privilege reserved for the elite. This print offers a fascinating insight into the lifestyle and customs of the noble class during this time, providing a window into the past that transports us back to a bygone era.
