1740 Crier Parisian Trap Exterminator
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Parisian Exterminator" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century Paris. The French colored engraving, dating back to around 1740, showcases a unique aspect of daily life in the city - the battle against rats. In this scene, we see a Parisian street-crier offering his services as an exterminator. The image is filled with intriguing details that transport us into this bygone era. The crier stands proudly on the cobblestone street, holding up a rat trap for all to see. His confident posture and animated expression suggest he possesses great skill in catching these pesky creatures that plagued many households at the time. Surrounded by curious onlookers, both men and women seem intrigued by his offer. Perhaps they have experienced firsthand the destruction caused by rats or are simply fascinated by this unusual profession. The artist's use of vibrant colors brings life to every element of the engraving - from the ornate buildings lining the street to each individual's attire. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured by The Granger Collection in New York, we can't help but be transported back in time and imagine ourselves wandering through those very streets centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even mundane aspects of everyday life can hold immense cultural significance and provide valuable insights into our shared history.
