This vibrant and captivating print showcases the front cover of the Almanach de la Bonne Cuisine et de la Maitresse de Maison, a renowned cookery book from 1860. The coloured engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a delightful scene filled with culinary delights and domestic charm. A young boy stands at the center, surrounded by pots and pans, showcasing his involvement in household affairs. He holds a basket overflowing with fresh ingredients such as onions, fish, tomatoes, carrots, and even aubergines - all essential elements for creating delicious meals. This enchanting snapshot captures not only the artistry of cooking but also emphasizes the importance of home economics during that era.
