EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris, where a coconut trader sets up shop at Porte Saint Denis. The old merchant's humble stall is filled with an array of coconut cups, enticing passersby with the promise of a refreshing drink. The drawing, created by German artist George Emanuel Opitz in the 19th century, captures the essence of daily life in Paris during that era. It showcases not only the street scene but also provides a glimpse into the laborious work undertaken by these traveling merchants. In this image, we see a young girl dressed in traditional attire standing beside her mother as they observe the coconut trader's wares. Their expressions reveal both curiosity and perhaps even hunger for this exotic treat. Opitz's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen; from the intricate patterns on their clothing to their worn-out hats symbolizing hard work and dedication. This artwork serves as a testament to French culture and its love for food and drink. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this photograph beautifully encapsulates an important aspect of 18th-century life - street trade - while simultaneously highlighting themes such as childhood innocence and youthfulness amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Photo Josse, we are transported back to a time when simple pleasures like sipping fresh coconut water were cherished moments amidst bustling city life.
