This engraving by Gustave Dore, titled "Marchand De Papier Pour Prendre Les Mouches" transports us to the late Victorian era in England. The scene depicts a vendor selling paper strips used for catching flies and moths. The intricate details of the artwork bring to life the bustling streets of London during the 19th century. The image showcases a unique aspect of British culture at that time, where people sought innovative solutions for dealing with pesky insects. The seller's expertise is evident as he displays his wares, enticing potential customers with his knowledge and charm. Dore's skillful rendering captures not only the essence of this particular street merchant but also provides a glimpse into everyday life in Britain during this period.
