EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of daily life in 18th century Paris. Titled "Picture Seller, 1738" the image was created by Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus, a renowned artist of that era. The picture showcases a young boy standing on a bustling street, his backpack filled with various prints and posters for sale. Dressed in old-fashioned clothing, the boy wears a coat and hat as he diligently carries out his occupation. The streets are lined with people going about their business, creating a lively atmosphere in this metropolitan city. The fine details of this engraving highlight the craftsmanship of Caylus' work. French text can be seen on some of the posters displayed by the picture seller, adding an authentic touch to the scene. As we admire this piece from Heritage Art collection at The Metropolitan Museum, it reminds us of how street trading was once an integral part of urban life. This snapshot allows us to step back in time and appreciate the rich history and cultural heritage associated with such scenes. Through Caylus' artistry, we gain insight into not only the job but also the concept of trade during that period. This portrait serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that transports us to 18th century France
