EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph from the 19th century captures a whole board representing various trades and professions. Measuring at 43.5x26.5 cm, this intricate print showcases the diverse skills and occupations of the time. The image features a baker, a carriage maker, a distiller, a reaper, a gas maker, a watchmaker, a printer, a gardener, a plower, a carpenter, and even a navigator. Each profession is meticulously depicted with attention to detail and craftsmanship. This artwork was created for "Alphabet des metiers" by Jean-Baptiste Castiaux in Lille. The printing was done by Simon-Francois Blocquel's Imprimerie de Blocquel. Plate No. 528 showcases the wide range of trades that were prevalent during this era. The scene transports us back to bustling streets filled with artisans practicing their crafts - from baking bread to constructing carriages or distilling spirits. It offers an intriguing glimpse into the laborious yet fascinating world of these skilled craftsmen. With its rich colors and intricate details captured through mzengraving techniques (a combination of etching and engraving), this print serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation of French street trade in the 19th century. Now part of private collection but available for public appreciation thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts; this piece allows us to appreciate the diversity of professions that once shaped our society while reminding us of their invaluable contributions to our collective heritage.
