EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris. The image depicts a Parisian Maitre d Hotel, exuding an air of elegance and authority as he stands in front of his establishment. The finely detailed lines and intricate shading bring this historical figure to life, showcasing the skillful artistry of the French School during this period. The Maitre d Hotel's attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with his tailored suit, crisp white shirt, and perfectly tied bowtie. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages passing by on cobblestone streets and catch a whiff of freshly baked baguettes from nearby bakeries. It is a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to glimpse into the past. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for George Augustus Sala's book "Paris Herself Again in 1878-9" providing readers with a visual representation of life in Paris during that era. Now preserved within a private collection, it serves as a testament to both French culture and history. Whether you are an admirer of art or simply fascinated by history, this print offers a window into another world - one filled with charm, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
