EDITORS COMMENTS
Cries of Paris - Mackerel Seller" is an evocative photograph that captures the vibrant energy and rich traditions of Parisian street life in the late 19th century. The image, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a determined and hardworking woman selling mackerel in the bustling streets of Paris. The woman, dressed in a red blouse and an apron, expertly carries a large basket of fresh mackerel on her head, skillfully balancing the load with the help of a cloth. Her face is set in a focused expression, as she calls out to potential customers, inviting them to purchase her fresh catch. The scene is filled with the colors of the market - the reds and oranges of the fish, the browns of the baskets, and the blues and greens of the surrounding area. The photograph is a testament to the importance of the street trade in Paris during this time period. The "Cries of Paris" series, which this image is a part of, documented the various vendors and their wares that could be found in the city's bustling streets. The series captured the unique character of Parisian life, showcasing the diversity of the population and the richness of the city's cultural heritage. The woman in the photograph embodies the spirit of the Parisian marketplace, her strength and determination evident in her posture and her unwavering focus on her trade. The image is a reminder of the importance of the everyday tradespeople who contributed to the vibrant and dynamic life of Paris, and who continue to do so today.
