EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 15th century Paris. In this enchanting scene, we see a Marchand d'abécédaires et de livres de prières, a traveling book seller, going about his daily business. The merchant is surrounded by an array of books and religious artifacts, enticing passersby with their knowledge and spirituality. The image beautifully captures the essence of life during that era - a young girl engrossed in reading an open book stands beside the merchant. Her curiosity shines through as she delves into the pages before her. The costumes worn by both figures transport us to another world, showcasing the fashion trends of medieval France. As we gaze upon this street scene, we are reminded of the importance placed on education and religion during this period. Books were highly sought after commodities, cherished for their ability to enlighten minds and deepen faith. The photograph also offers insight into the laborious nature of street trade at that time. We can imagine the hard work put forth by these merchants as they traversed city streets with heavy loads on their backs. Overall, this remarkable piece from an anonymous private collection serves as a window into history - a glimpse into everyday life in 15th century Paris where commerce met culture amidst its vibrant population.
