EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in the 1880s. It showcases the vibrant atmosphere of the city's fish market, a hub of activity where traders and customers come together in pursuit of fresh catches. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing a snapshot of 19th-century commerce and trade. In this historical illustration, we see men and women from all walks of life engaging in the age-old tradition of buying and selling fish. The market stalls are filled with an array of seafood delicacies, enticing buyers with their glistening scales and briny aroma. Parisians, both young and old, gather around these stalls as they carefully select their purchases. The scene is alive with movement - sellers skillfully showcasing their goods while buyers inspect each catch with discerning eyes. Amidst this lively exchange, one can almost hear the animated conversations between traders haggling over prices or discussing recipes for delectable seafood dishes. This wood engraving from circa 1888 not only offers us a glimpse into Parisian history but also serves as a testament to the enduring human connection to food. As we admire this monochrome artwork today, it reminds us that throughout centuries people have relied on markets like these to nourish themselves while fostering social bonds within their communities.
