EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of three distinct characters from 17th-century Paris. The first figure is a blind man, his face etched with wisdom and resilience despite his disability. Dressed in tattered garments, he carries a sense of dignity that transcends his circumstances. Next to him stands a water carrier, strong and muscular, embodying the physical labor required for this essential task. His attire reflects practicality and functionality, with sturdy boots and a robust apron ready for any challenge. Completing the trio is a commissionaire, exuding an air of authority as he stands tall in his uniform. With ornate buttons adorning his coat and an elaborate hat atop his head, he represents order and control within society. These individuals represent different facets of life during Louis XIII's reign - from those who faced adversity with grace to those who fulfilled crucial roles in service or administration. Through this photograph captured by Leonard de Selva in the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness these historical figures come alive before our eyes. The Costumes of Paris through the centuries series provides us with glimpses into the diverse tapestry that was French fashion during different eras. This particular image serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by marginalized members of society and the strength they possessed to navigate their world with determination.
