Street Traders in the 18th Century - A Vibrant Snapshot of Urban Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Street Traders in the 18th century" offers a vivid glimpse into the bustling streets of Paris during a bygone era. Captured through a colour lithograph by an anonymous French School artist from the 18th century, this image is now housed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris. The scene depicts a vibrant tapestry of street traders going about their daily business. Women can be seen selling shoe polish, laces, cherries, and toy windmills with an air of determination and resourcefulness. Meanwhile, men proudly display their wares - rabbit skins, strawberries, raspberries, and apples - enticing passersby with their colorful displays. This snapshot not only showcases the variety of goods available but also provides insights into the social fabric and economic activities that shaped life in 18th-century Paris. The diversity of occupations represented here highlights both male and female involvement in street trades as means for livelihoods. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fruit or item on display seems almost tangible. This print serves as a testament to the skillful artistry employed by Imagerie d'Orleans – known for its exquisite depictions of botanical subjects and natural history. As we gaze upon this historical gem from eArchives Charmet's collection – now made accessible through Bridgeman Images – we are transported back to an era where these street traders played
