EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 16th century Paris, where a merchant of good milk plies his trade. The image, captured by French School artist Leonard de Selva, is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. In this enchanting scene, we witness the laborious work of a travelling milk merchant as he navigates through the busy city streets. His tiered cart is filled with large containers brimming with fresh milk, ready to be sold to eager customers. The intricate engravings on his cart showcase his dedication to quality and excellence. The merchant's presence adds vibrancy to an already lively street scene. Passersby stop momentarily to observe this unique spectacle unfolding before their eyes. It is evident that this humble merchant plays an important role in nourishing the people of Paris during this era. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography captures not only the physicality of this historical figure but also hints at the rich cultural tapestry that defines 16th-century France. This photograph serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical documentation. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how even seemingly ordinary professions can hold immense significance within society. The Merchant of Good Milk stands as a symbol of hard work, dedication, and community service - values that transcend time and place.
