About the Item

Engraving of Russian National Carriages: Droshky and Kibitka This hand-colored engraving presents two scenes of traditional Russian transportation from the 19th century. The upper illustration depicts a Droshky, a light, open carriage commonly used in urban areas, featuring passengers seated under simple coverings, drawn by a single horse. The lower illustration shows a Kibitka, a covered wagon often associated with rural settings, pulled by a robust horse and carrying passengers in a more rustic manner. The detailed line work and vibrant hand-coloring bring these scenes to life, emphasizing the diversity of Russian transportation methods during the era. The engraving captures both the elegance of urban life and the practicality of rural travel, offering a vivid glimpse into 19th-century Russian culture and daily life. Artistic and Historical Context: This engraving reflects the growing fascination in 19th-century Europe with Russian customs and lifestyle, often depicted in travel books or cultural compendiums. The Droshky and Kibitka were iconic modes of transportation, symbolizing both urban sophistication and rural resilience. These scenes likely aimed to educate European audiences about the uniqueness of Russian traditions. The piece is hand-colored with fine details, demonstrating the craftsmanship typical of 19th-century European engravings. It is a valuable addition to collections focused on Russian history, transportation, or 19th-century engravings. Condition Report:Good condition, vibrant coloring preserved, light toning, minor creases, and edge wear.
