Inconvéniens d’un voyage en diligence. Douze Tableaux Litographiés

Author:

Xavier Leprince

Publication date:

1826

When the stagecoaches worked as the modern long-travel buses, there sure were many inconveniences and discomforts; some of them are still present nowadays. Twelve illustrations show the many problems of a travel in a stagecoach, starting with the small space available to the high chance to easily lose personal items. Each caricature goes along with a short ironic description that increases the humor of the picture.
