DAZIARO. G.
Attelages Russes.
A series of plates published in Russia by Daziaro, a French publisher who moved his business to Russia temporarily. The lithographs of this series reflected one of the characteristic aspects of Russian life in the 19th century - the types of horse-drawn transport that deserved attention not only from Russian classical literature but also in Europe. Carriages, cabs, droshkys, troikas, harnessed sleds, and other vehicles connected the space of vast Russia with their unhurried run, set the rhythm of life, and shaped the image of the country and the Russian city.
