EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the streets of Paris during the 19th century. The image showcases an ancient profession, that of a "merchant de lait d'anesse" or donkey milk merchant. Engraved by Jean Henry Marlet, this piece is part of the renowned series "Les Tableaux de Paris" consisting of 72 prints capturing various scenes from daily life in the city. The scene depicts a street trade where a hardworking merchant tends to his donkey, which carries containers filled with precious donkey milk. Donkeys were commonly used for their ability to transport goods through narrow and crowded streets. This particular engraving beautifully captures the essence of laborious street work and highlights one aspect of French culture at that time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing his mastery in capturing not only the physical features but also the emotions and atmosphere surrounding this ancient metier. The composition exudes nostalgia as it invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling through those historic Parisian streets. Leonard de Selva's photograph expertly preserves this enchanting artwork, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even today. It serves as a reminder of how much our world has evolved while honoring these forgotten professions that once shaped everyday life in one of Europe's most iconic cities.
