EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Alfred Sirouy takes us back in time to the bustling streets of old Brussels. The image, published in 1881 as part of Camille Lemonnier's story of Belgium, offers a glimpse into the small pave industries, remolers, and street shops that once thrived in this vibrant city. The scene is filled with activity as men and women go about their daily tasks. A traveling merchant can be seen pushing a cart filled with goods, while a young girl stands nearby observing the lively street trade. The intricate details captured by Sirouy's engraving bring to life the charm and character of these small businesses. Brussels' rich history as an economic hub is evident in this print. From cobblers repairing shoes to shopkeepers selling their wares, every corner seems occupied by industrious individuals dedicated to their craft. This snapshot provides a window into the past, reminding us of the hardworking spirit that defined Belgian society during this era. As we admire this piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back to 19th-century Brussels—a time when these small enterprises formed the backbone of local commerce. Through Sirouy's skillful artistry and attention to detail, we can appreciate both the beauty and significance of these forgotten trades that once shaped the fabric of Belgian society.
