EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Baker Boy, 1746" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 18th century Paris. The creator, Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus, skillfully captures a moment in time that speaks volumes about the daily life and struggles of the working class. The image showcases a young boy dressed in traditional clothing, donning an apron and coat as he carries a basket filled with freshly baked bread on his back. With determination etched across his face, he stands tall amidst the chaotic cityscape, embodying the spirit of resilience and hard work. This thought-provoking portrait sheds light on child labor during that era. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by children who were forced into adult responsibilities at such tender ages. Despite their circumstances, these young individuals played crucial roles in supporting their families while navigating through crowded streets to sell their goods. Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus's artistic vision not only immortalizes this nameless baker boy but also pays homage to countless others like him who contributed to society's sustenance through their tireless efforts. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Art collection at The Met Museum, let us reflect on how far we have come in terms of workers' rights and social progress. May it serve as a testament to our collective responsibility to protect and nurture our future generations so they may never experience such hardships again.
