EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1863. The image showcases an intriguing figure known as a "bouquiniste" a bookseller who sets up shop along the quays of the Seine River. In this snapshot from history, we see the bouquiniste surrounded by stacks of books, carefully arranged on wooden shelves and tables. His weathered face tells tales of countless hours spent under the sun, wind, and rain while tending to his beloved collection. Passersby stop to browse through his literary treasures, their curiosity piqued by the wide variety of titles available. The scene exudes an air of intellectualism and cultural richness that was characteristic of Paris during this era. It is a testament to the enduring love affair between Parisians and literature – a tradition that continues to thrive today. This particular print is an engraving originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" a popular French publication at the time. Its inclusion in private collections speaks volumes about its historical significance and artistic value. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one aspect of life on these iconic Parisian quays over 150 years ago.
