EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bustling street scene in Madrid, Spain. The focal point of the image is a chocolate dealer, depicted in lively detail through an engraving by Gustave Dore. Taken during Dore's trip to Spain in 1862, this sketch was later published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869. The chocolate dealer stands proudly amidst his sweet shop, surrounded by an array of delectable treats. His costume reflects the traditional attire of the era, adding authenticity to the scene. Engaged in conversation with a customer, he exudes warmth and hospitality. This image offers a glimpse into daily life during that period - a snapshot frozen in time. The merchant's presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times when small businesses thrived on open-air markets. It also highlights the cultural significance of chocolate as it was enjoyed and traded among locals. Gustave Dore's masterful engraving skillfully captures every intricate detail from the vendor's expression to each individual piece of candy on display. This print serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back to 19th-century Madrid where conversations flowed freely over cups of hot chocolate and sweet indulgences were savored with delight.
