Cream Glaces Lick Penny Seller Sells Trades Vendor

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the golden hues of a bygone era, this evocative image of a Parisian ice cream seller, as archived in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the early 20th century. The photograph, taken in 1905, depicts a street vendor skillfully trading his icy treats with two young customers, a little girl and a boy, on a sun-soaked Parisian street. The historical context of this image is rich with detail. The vendor, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, proudly displays his wares - glaces, or French ice cream - in a colorful, striped wooden cart. The children, dressed in turn-of-the-century clothing, are fully engaged in the simple pleasure of enjoying a sweet, cooling treat on a warm day. The girl, with a determined look on her face, reaches out to pay the vendor with a penny, while the boy, already licking his ice cream, looks on with anticipation. This photograph not only captures a moment of innocent joy and trade, but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of street food culture in Paris. Ice cream, a beloved indulgence for generations, has been a staple of Parisian life since the 16th century. The vibrant, bustling streets of the city have long been home to colorful vendors, like the one in this image, who have brought joy to generations of Parisians and visitors alike. The intricate details of this photograph - the vendor's expressive face, the children's eager expressions, and the colorful cart filled with glaces - invite us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Paris in a time long past. This image, a testament to the enduring appeal of ice cream and the rich history of street food culture, is a must-see for anyone with a love for history, food, or the simple pleasures of life.
