EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cuisine ambulante, 1870s" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century China. The creator remains unknown, but their talent for capturing everyday life in vivid detail is undeniable. In this monochrome image, we see a mobile kitchen set up on the busy street corner. A Chinese man stands proudly beside his food stall, surrounded by an array of delectable dishes and aromatic spices. His hands are stained with vibrant colors as he meticulously hand-tints each photograph to bring them to life. The scene is filled with activity as people from all walks of life gather around the stall, eagerly awaiting their turn to savor the flavorsome rice-based delicacies being prepared before their eyes. The aroma wafts through the air, enticing passersby and creating a sense of community amidst the hustle and bustle. This albumen silver print from a glass negative showcases not only the artistry involved in early photography but also provides us with a glimpse into Chinese culinary traditions during that era. It serves as a testament to how food has always been an integral part of any culture's heritage. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be transported back in time - immersing ourselves in this vibrant snapshot of daily life over a century ago.
