EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris in the 19th century. The image showcases "La Halle aux poissons de Paris" a famous fish market that was once an integral part of daily life in the city. The engraving, originally featured in "Le petit journal" on April 3rd, 1893, captures the essence of French street trade during this era. A merchant can be seen proudly displaying his fresh catch of fish while surrounded by curious onlookers. The scene is filled with energy as people go about their daily routines, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The unknown artist responsible for this remarkable piece has beautifully captured not only the intricate details of each individual but also the spirit and liveliness of this unique marketplace. From the expressions on people's faces to the variety of fish on display, every element tells a story about life at that time. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly preserves this historical moment for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of how food played an essential role in shaping society and reflects upon our connection with nature through animal wildlife. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are transported back to a different era—a time when street markets were at their peak and merchants like these were vital pillars within their communities.
