EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from the bustling streets of Paris in the 19th century. Titled "Marchand de basiers - in 'Paris a travers les siecles' by H. Gourdon de Genouillac" this enchanting image showcases a traveling merchant, known as a Marchand de basiers, going about his trade. The scene depicts the merchant standing proudly beside his tiered basket filled with an assortment of goods. His face is weathered, reflecting years of hard work and dedication to his craft. The intricate details captured by French School artist Leonard de Selva bring this historical figure to life, showcasing the artistry and skill involved in engraving. The composition exudes authenticity and offers us a glimpse into the street trade culture that once thrived in Paris. It transports us back to an era where merchants like him roamed the cobblestone streets, offering their wares to passersby. As we admire this remarkable piece of art from our private collection, we are reminded of how much history can be found within one single photograph. This particular image serves as both a visual delight and a testament to the rich cultural heritage that defines Parisian society throughout centuries past.
