This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures the bustling streets of 18th-century Paris, showcasing a variety of hardworking individuals going about their daily trades. In this scene, we see an array of women vendors selling their wares with pride and determination. At the forefront stands an umbrella seller, her colorful parasols catching the eye of passersby seeking shelter from both rain and sun. Beside her is a flower seller, carefully arranging bouquets to entice potential customers with their fragrant beauty. A carder can be seen diligently working on wool or cotton fibers, preparing them for spinning into thread or yarn. And lastly, a bellows seller showcases his essential tools used in various crafts such as blacksmithing or glassblowing. These women represent the backbone of street trading in 18th-century Paris - strong-willed and resourceful individuals who made their living through honest labor.
