EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Costumes in the market-place, Strasburg" takes us back to 19th century France, specifically the bustling city of Strasbourg. The image showcases a vibrant market scene filled with an array of colorful costumes and an abundance of fresh produce. The artist from the English School skillfully captures the essence of this lively marketplace, where locals gather to sell their fruits and vegetables while donning traditional attire. The intricate details in each costume highlight the rich cultural heritage of Alsace, a region known for its distinctive traditions. As we gaze at this print from our private collection, we are transported to a bygone era when markets were not only places for commerce but also social gatherings. The hustle and bustle depicted here evoke a sense of community as people engage in animated conversations amidst baskets overflowing with ripe fruits and vegetables. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Edwin Hopper's book "The World its Cities and Peoples" published around 1890. Its inclusion in this publication speaks volumes about its significance as a representation of French culture during that time. Through Bridgeman Images' careful preservation, we can now appreciate this historical artwork that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Strasbourg's marketplaces. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, food remains not only sustenance but also an integral part of our shared human experience across different cultures and continents.
