EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1860 captures a moment of tension between a Paris concierge and a resident who has failed to wipe his boots before ascending her stairs. The female concierge, dressed in traditional attire, looks daggers at the careless resident as he makes his way up the staircase. In this historical scene, we catch a glimpse of the strict rules and etiquette that governed interactions between residents and their servants during this time period.
The image serves as a reminder of the importance placed on respect and proper behavior in 19th century Parisian society. Concierges played a crucial role in maintaining order within residential buildings, ensuring that residents followed the rules and standards set by their landlords.
As we study this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when social hierarchies were rigidly enforced and every action was scrutinized for its adherence to societal norms. The tension palpable in the concierge's expression speaks volumes about the power dynamics at play between servants and residents.
This print is not just a snapshot of history; it is a window into a world where even small gestures like wiping one's boots could have significant consequences. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much our daily interactions can reveal about larger societal structures and expectations.
