EDITORS COMMENTS
The Merchant of Hearts," a captivating image from the 1910s, showcases a French woman skillfully selling hearts - not the commercial company, but rather the intangible, emotional kind. The photograph, taken in Paris during the post-World War I era, depicts a young woman named Maurice Millaire, who was known for her enchanting performances as "The Merchant of Hearts." Millaire is seen in the photo, dressed in a charming negligee, her radiant smile beaming as she holds a wicker basket filled with hearts. Cupids, with their quivers of arrows, hover around her, playfully adding to the whimsical scene. The woman's expressive eyes convey a sense of warmth and understanding, as if she holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of love and romance. The photograph captures the essence of the Parisian spirit during the 1910s, a time of renewal and hope after the devastation of war. The Merchant of Hearts represents the human desire for connection and love, and her enchanting presence continues to captivate viewers even a century later. This evocative image is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the enduring allure of the human heart. Mary Evans Picture Library's "The Merchant of Hearts" is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the emotional landscape of the early 20th century. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring power of love, but also a stunning work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
