EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of street life in Madrid during the 19th century. In the bustling Puerta del Sol, an open-air chestnut merchant can be seen with her portable oven, skillfully sketching on the vivid streetscape. The engraving was created by Gustave Dore to illustrate his journey through Spain alongside editor Ch. Davillier in 1862. The image showcases a woman at work, embodying both labor and gluttony as she tends to her trade. Her dedication is evident as she prepares chestnuts for passersby, offering a taste of warmth and comfort amidst the busy city atmosphere. Dore's attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing not only the merchant but also the energy of Madrid's vibrant streets. This engraving was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance for Hachette edition in Paris. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of art history that encapsulates a moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of how street trades played an integral role in shaping urban landscapes and providing sustenance for communities. Leonard de Selva expertly photographed this print, ensuring its legacy lives on beyond its original publication date. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a bygone era where merchants like these were an essential part of daily life in Madrid.
