The Errand Girl of Paris, 1898 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Streets of Belle Époque
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the vibrant streets of Paris in 1898 during the Belle Époque era. Captured by Basile Lemeunier, a talented French artist, this color lithograph titled "The Errand Girl of Paris" offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life at that time. In this bustling street scene, we see an apprentice errand girl known as "le trottin" diligently fulfilling her duties. Dressed in a stylish yet practical outfit with a petticoat and trench coat, she confidently navigates through the busy thoroughfare on her horse-drawn coach. The image beautifully captures both the elegance and hard work associated with female laborers during this period. As our eyes wander around the scene, we notice other intriguing details such as a policeman keeping watch over the crowd and various workers going about their tasks. The presence of a milliner's hatbox hints at one possible destination for our errand girl – perhaps delivering fashionable headwear to discerning customers. This photograph not only showcases early urban planning but also provides valuable insights into social history and class dynamics within turn-of-the-century Parisian society. It serves as a reminder of how apprenticeships were vital for young individuals seeking to learn trades and gain independence. With its impeccable attention to detail and vivid colors, this artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to
