EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos in Paris circa 1870-1886, offers a glimpse into the lives of a group of men who served as servants and employees to Count Ducos. The image showcases their distinctive appearances and roles within the household. The men are captured standing together on a bench, creating a sense of camaraderie among them. Each individual exudes his own unique character through his attire and accessories. Some wear aprons, indicating their involvement in domestic chores or culinary duties, while others sport moustaches and bow ties that add an air of sophistication to their appearance. In the background, we see a charming French street scene with buildings lining the cobblestone road. A dog stands faithfully beside one of the men, serving as both companion and guardian. This photograph not only provides us with a visual record of these individuals but also offers insights into social dynamics during this period in history. It reminds us that behind every grand estate or noble family were dedicated workers who played crucial roles in maintaining its daily operations. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's preservation efforts, this remarkable piece from private collection allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved in early photography while shedding light on the lives of those often overlooked figures who shaped society behind closed doors.
