EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of the holiday season in 1850s Paris, as a street trader sells bunches of mistletoe to passersby. Dressed in the fashion of the time, the man wears a long coat and a bowler hat, his face animated with the energy of the bustling street trade. Mistletoe, a traditional Christmas decoration and symbol of love and good fortune, is artfully arranged on a table before him. The vibrant colors of the mistletoe berries contrast sharply with the muted tones of the winter landscape, drawing the eye and inviting customers to make a purchase. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the holiday marketplace, as people go about their daily business amidst the festive atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the Victorian era, a time when the sale of mistletoe on the streets of Paris was an integral part of the Christmas experience.
