EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "View of the Wheat Port and the Pont au Change looking upstream" takes us back to 18th century Paris, France. The print showcases a bustling scene filled with elements that depict the vibrant daily life of this urban city. In the foreground, we see a cart being unloaded by workers on the quay, symbolizing the busy trade and commerce happening along the river. Boats line up alongside each other as they transport goods and supplies to various destinations. The timber bails stacked near a house indicate an inhabited area where people live and work. The bridge, known as Pont au Change, stands majestically in the background, connecting both sides of Paris over La Seine. Horses can be seen pulling barges loaded with cargo while a tugboat maneuvers through the waterway. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into an era when transportation relied heavily on animals like horses for moving goods across bridges and rivers. It captures not only scenes of trade but also showcases wildlife in its depiction of farm animals grazing nearby. Overall, this print offers viewers an immersive experience into historical Parisian life - from its bustling ports to its architectural marvels - reminding us of how cities have evolved over time while still retaining their essence as centers of commerce and culture.
