EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "That seems a little expensive to me" we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Paris in 1902. The image, originally featured in L'Assiette au Beurre, a satirical journal of its time, captures the essence of a typical market scene. A female customer is seen browsing through various produce at a market stall while engaging with the seller. Her expression suggests surprise and perhaps even disbelief at the prices being quoted. With her basket in hand, she stands amidst an array of colorful fruits and vegetables, carefully selecting her purchases. The artist's use of color engraving brings life to this street scene, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. From the merchant's animated gestures to the expressions on other shoppers' faces as they observe this interaction unfold before them – it all adds depth and character to this snapshot from history. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into societal norms and economic realities during that era. It reminds us that discussions about prices and affordability have been part of our daily lives for centuries. As we admire this artwork by Francisco Sancha y Lengo, we can't help but wonder if similar conversations still take place today when faced with high price tags. This timeless piece continues to resonate with viewers across generations, reminding us that some things never change – including our desire for fair prices!
