EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the bustling streets of 15th-century Paris. In this enchanting scene, we see a Marchand d'abécédaires et de livres de prières (bookseller traveling) immersed in his trade. The image is taken from the renowned book "Paris à travers les siècles" by H. Gourdon de Kenouillac, published in 1881. The bookseller stands proudly amidst his collection of religious texts and prayer books, offering a window into the importance of faith during this era. His portable bookshop showcases an array of beautifully bound volumes, inviting passersby to explore their spiritual depths. A young girl captivated by knowledge stands nearby, engrossed in one such book. Her presence adds an element of innocence and curiosity to the scene as she delves into the world contained within those pages. The engraving expertly depicts the laborious nature of street trade during that time period. The merchant's weathered face tells tales of countless journeys undertaken to bring these literary treasures to eager readers across Paris. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly encapsulates not only a historical moment but also highlights the significance placed on education and religion during this epoch. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our timeless pursuit for enlightenment through literature and spirituality.
