EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a fascinating aspect of 17th century travel: Vauban's Horse Litter, used by the renowned French military engineer, Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707). Dating back to circa 1680, this image offers a glimpse into the mobility and luxury of the era's elite. Vauban, a key figure in the development of modern fortification, was known for his extensive travels across France and Europe. To ensure his comfort and efficiency during these journeys, he employed a sophisticated horse litter. This innovative mode of transport allowed him to travel quickly and in style, while also providing a functional workspace. The print shows Vauban's horse litter in action, with two horses pulling the elegant carriage. The litter's design is thoughtfully engineered, featuring a spacious interior where Vauban could work, write, and rest. A canopy shields him from the elements, while a small table and chair are conveniently attached to the exterior for outdoor work sessions. This print not only offers a glimpse into the life of a legendary military figure but also showcases the ingenuity and elegance of 17th century transportation. Vauban's Horse Litter represents the perfect blend of luxury, functionality, and innovation, making it a captivating piece of historical art and a testament to the enduring allure of the past.
