21 voorstellingen van verschillende voertuigen 1847

This lithograph, "21 voorstellingen van verschillende voertuigen" (21 representations of different vehicles), by Victor Adam (1801-1866), showcases a variety of transportation methods in the 19th century. The artist's detailed depictions, rendered in black and white, offer a glimpse into the everyday life of the time. The composition is divided into a grid of 21 individual scenes, each illustrating a unique mode of transport. From horse-drawn carriages to boats and even a railway train, Adam’s work provides a valuable historical record of transportation evolution. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the artistry and insight of Victor Adam.
