EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling harbor of the late 19th century. The subject of this photo is an oyster merchant, captured in a detailed drawing by Dellepienne in 1896. The artist's name may be unknown, but their skillful hand brings this scene to life. The oyster merchant stands proudly amidst his wares, showcasing the bounty of the sea. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication to his trade. Surrounding him are crates filled with succulent oysters, freshly plucked from the ocean depths. The composition exudes a sense of authenticity and rawness that perfectly captures the essence of this maritime profession. Every line and shadow seems deliberate, highlighting not only the merchant himself but also emphasizing the importance of seafood as a vital source of sustenance for coastal communities. Leonard de Selva's expert photography preserves every intricate detail in this chromolithography chromo print. Through his lens, we can almost smell the briny scent wafting through the air and hear seagulls squawking overhead. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature's abundance and how it has sustained generations throughout history. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty found within everyday occupations and our reliance on these natural resources for survival. As we gaze upon this timeless image, let us reflect on those who have dedicated their lives to providing nourishment from land and sea alike – like this proud oyster merchant
