EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a snapshot of life during the reign of Louis XIII in 17th-century France. The print features an intriguing group of individuals, each representing different roles and social classes within society. At the forefront is a blind man, his sightless eyes hidden behind dark shades as he navigates through the bustling streets with the aid of his trusty walking stick. Beside him stands a water carrier, burdened by heavy pails slung over her shoulders, symbolizing the toil and labor associated with her occupation. A commissionaire, dressed in distinctive attire denoting his position as an official messenger or guard, stands tall and vigilant nearby. Completing this ensemble is a domestic servant - possibly a maid or housekeeper - clad in traditional clothing indicative of her station. The artist masterfully captures not only their physical appearances but also hints at their individual stories and struggles. This evocative illustration was originally created for "Paris A Travers Les Siecles" by H Gourdon de Genouillac (Geffroy) in 1897. Through this artwork, we catch glimpses into everyday life during this historical period: workers going about their duties diligently while wearing fashionable garments that reflect French culture at that time. It serves as both a visual record and an exploration of societal dynamics within early modern France.
