EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the streets of Paris in 1845. Titled "Marchand de mort aux rats" or "Merchant of Death to Rats" it is a fascinating glimpse into the past captured by French School artists from the 19th century. The image showcases a street merchant, his cart filled with an intriguing assortment of items. However, what truly catches our attention are the large jars labeled "poison" and the presence of rats scurrying around. This merchant's trade seems to revolve around combating these pesky rodents that plagued Paris during that time. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this scene, transporting us to a different era where such trades were common on bustling city streets. The attention to detail is remarkable; you can almost hear the sounds and smell the aromas wafting through this lively marketplace. As we delve deeper into history through H. Gourdon de Kenouillac's book "Paris A travers les siècles" published in 1881, we gain further insight into life during those times. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding how people lived, worked, and interacted with their environment. Leonard de Selva has expertly photographed this historical print from a private collection, preserving its authenticity for generations to come. Through his lens, he allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also provides an opportunity for reflection on how societies have evolved over time. This print is more than just
