Verlag: Art Journal

Beschreibung

The print titled "THE POSTILLION" is a detailed steel engraving created after the work of artist Goubie and engraved by Lalauze in 1877. The scene depicts a postillion, a person who rides the leading nearside horse of a pair in order to guide the horses pulling a carriage, navigating a steep, winding coastal path. The postillion, dressed in period attire, skillfully maneuvers two horses harnessed to a small carriage, which carries two passengers. The landscape features a rugged cliffside with the sea visible in the background, adding a sense of drama and adventure to the journey. The engraving captures the dynamic motion of the horses and the precarious nature of the terrain, showcasing the skill and bravery of the postillion. The print includes the inscriptions "R. Goubie delt" and "A. Lalauze, Sculpt," indicating the original artist and the engraver, respectively. Goubie, whose full name is likely Richard Goubie, was known for his detailed and evocative scenes, though specific biographical details about him are scarce. Lalauze, the engraver, was renowned for his meticulous and precise engraving techniques, which are evident in the intricate details of this print.
