EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Selling Coffee, from the series Les Cris de Paris, 1746" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 18th-century Paris. The engraving, created by renowned artist Edme Bouchardon, beautifully captures a vivid street scene filled with energy and activity. In this particular image, we see a male vendor known as a "marchand de café" engaging with passersby. With his trade on full display, he skillfully prepares and serves aromatic cups of coffee to eager customers. His presence exudes an air of authenticity and connection to the people - a true man of the people. The enchanting atmosphere depicted in this photograph transports us into the heart of old Parisian life. It offers us a glimpse into the daily routines and interactions that took place centuries ago on these very streets. As we admire this historic artwork, it is important to note its significance beyond mere commercial use. Instead, let's appreciate how it immortalizes not only the artistry of Bouchardon but also showcases an era when street vendors played an integral role in shaping urban culture. With its timeless appeal and attention to detail, this print invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with coffee while appreciating the rich history embedded within each cup we enjoy today.
