1774 Broom Brooms Household Items Parisian Seller Trades

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of a Parisian broom seller plying his trade on the bustling streets of 18th century Paris. Dressed in the traditional attire of the time, complete with a wide-brimmed hat and a long, voluminous coat, the seller presents an array of handcrafted brooms to potential customers. Each broom is meticulously crafted from the finest willow branches, bound together with skillful weaving and adorned with decorative ribbons and handles. The setting of this scene transports us back to an era when the daily necessities of life were sourced from local artisans and traders. The cobblestone streets are filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of urban life: the clatter of horse hooves, the chatter of passersby, and the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from nearby bakeries. The broom seller's cart, laden with his wares, is a testament to the importance of household items in the daily lives of Parisians. Brooms were essential tools for keeping the city's streets and homes clean, and the seller's dedication to his craft ensured that his customers received only the finest and most durable brooms. This print, dating from 1774, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Paris during the Age of Enlightenment. It serves as a reminder of the importance of local trade and the artisanal traditions that shaped the daily lives of people in this vibrant and dynamic city.
