"Sedan Chair on the Road" is a frontispiece illustration created by C. Hentschell for Volume IV of "The Yellow Book," an influential British quarterly literary periodical that was published in London from 1894 to 1897. The illustration accompanies a translation of Satires by the Roman poet Juvenal, known for his biting social commentary. The artwork reflects the aesthetic and decadent movement of the time, which "The Yellow Book" was known to represent.

The frontispiece depicts a scene consistent with Juvenal's satirical themes, likely portraying the opulence and decadence of Roman society through the image of a sedan chair, a popular mode of transportation for the wealthy during various historical periods, including ancient Rome. Sedan chairs were carried by bearers and often used to display the status of the passenger within.

C. Hentschell's work for "The Yellow Book" contributed to the periodical's reputation as a showcase for the avant-garde and the aesthetes of the late 19th century. The publication was a platform for writers and artists who sought to challenge Victorian ideas about literature, art, and morality. The inclusion of Hentschell's illustration in Volume IV aligns with the magazine's mission to push the boundaries of conventional art and literature.

The frontispiece by Hentschell is an example of the synergy between visual art and literature that "The Yellow Book" sought to promote. The illustration not only serves as a visual introduction to the translated text of Juvenal's Satires but also encapsulates the ethos of the periodical itself, which aimed to merge the artistic and the literary into a singular, provocative aesthetic experience.
