EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pastry Seller, 1738" created by Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus in the 18th century, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Paris. The image showcases a young man dressed in traditional clothing, standing proudly with a tray full of delectable pastries. His apron suggests that he is dedicated to his craft as a baker. The artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life during this era, providing us with a glimpse into the vibrant street trading scene of old Paris. The man's expressive face and confident stance convey his dedication to his occupation and pride in his service. As he shouts out to passersby, it becomes evident that selling pastries was not just a job for him but also an art form. This portrait serves as a testament to the rich heritage and culinary traditions deeply rooted in French culture. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this engraving evokes nostalgia for simpler times while celebrating the hard work and craftsmanship involved in creating these mouthwatering treats. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people took great pleasure in indulging their taste buds with delicious pastries from skilled artisans like this pastry seller. Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus' artwork allows us to appreciate both the beauty found within everyday scenes and our shared human experiences across time.
