Sutler to the National Guard, Paris, Early 19th Century: A Portrait of Tradeswomen in Action This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Sutler to the National Guard, Paris, Early 19th Century," is an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and diverse world of tradeswomen in Paris during the 1800s. The image, created by the skilled hands of engraver Gatine after an illustration by Louis-Marie Lante, is taken from the publication "Tradeswomen of Paris," published in 1823. The central figure in this scene is a sutler, a woman who supplied provisions and other essentials to soldiers. Dressed in a stunning straw bonnet, gold shawl, and an elegant dress, she exudes confidence and professionalism. The sutler carries a case filled with oil paints, a book, and a monocle, suggesting that she may have also been an artist or a teacher in her spare time. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the rich textures and colors of the woman's attire, as well as the various items she carries. The oil paints and brushes peek out from her case, while her book and monocle rest on a table next to a bottle of wine and a loaf of bread. The National Guard soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, can be seen in the background, engaged in conversation with the sutler. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of tradeswomen in Paris during the early 19th century, a time when women were making significant strides in various professions and trades. The sutler's ability to provide for the National Guard while also pursuing her own passions is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of women during this period in history. This engraving is a reminder of the rich and complex lives of women who have come before us, and the important roles they played in shaping the world around us.
