Chocolate Coco Cocoa Dec16 Marchand Seller Selling Sells Trades Vendor
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling streets of 1870s France, a kind-faced vendor named Marchand de Coco, or 'Chocolate Seller,' offers cups of rich, steaming hot cocoa to a group of eager boys. The warm beverage, a beloved treat during the chilly winter months, brings smiles to their faces as they huddle together for warmth. The vendor, dressed in a traditional French apron and hat, skillfully pours the chocolate into small cups, adding a dollop of whipped cream on top for each one. The aroma of the cocoa wafts through the air, drawing in passersby and enticing them with the promise of a momentary respite from the cold. The boys, dressed in their Sunday best, savor each sip, their eyes closed in delight. The scene captures the simple joys of childhood and the warmth and community that can be found even in the most ordinary moments. This photograph, taken around 1875, is a charming reminder of the past and the enduring appeal of a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter day.
