EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a Zelandan village in 1873. The image depicts a shoemaker engrossed in his craft, as he carefully fits a shoe on the foot of a young woman. Standing beside them is a young man, perhaps her companion or suitor, observing the process with interest. The engraving, based on Adolf Dillens' original drawing, beautifully captures the essence of daily life in this traditional Dutch village. It serves as an illustration for Charles de Coster's journey to Zelande (Neerlande), published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874. The scene exudes authenticity and showcases the craftsmanship that was valued during that era. The shoemaker's dedication to his trade is evident as he ensures the perfect fit for his customer. This intimate moment between the shoemaker and his clients highlights not only their interaction but also reflects the importance of personalized service even then. This print from Selva Collection offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of simpler times when commerce took place within small boutiques nestled within tight-knit communities. It invites us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating footwear and how it played an integral role in people's lives. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates this snapshot from history, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this bygone era where tradition met modernity through skilled craftsmen like these Zelandan shoemakers.
