EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the short-lived Peace of Amiens in 1802, where an English traveller visiting Paris is surrounded by eager touts offering various merchandise and services. The scene is bustling with activity as people from all walks of life try to entice the tourist with their wares. The image provides a glimpse into the vibrant tourism industry of that time, showcasing the hustle and bustle of a city filled with opportunities for exploration and discovery. Despite being beleaguered by the persistent touts, the English traveller appears intrigued by the array of offerings available to them. As we reflect on this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the importance of peace and diplomacy in fostering cultural exchange and international travel. The Peace of Amiens may have been short-lived, but its impact on promoting cross-border interactions can still be felt today. Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness a moment when France was open to visitors from abroad, welcoming them with open arms and a plethora of goods and services. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil, tourism has always been a bridge connecting people from different parts of the world.
