This particular illustration was created for the renowned Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses by MM Larive et Fleury in 1888. It offers us a glimpse into how people traveled during that era. The intricate lines and shading techniques employed by the engraver bring life to this historical scene.
