EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Seller of Breakfast Cocoa, c. 1813" captures a vibrant scene from early 19th century France. Created by the talented French artist Adrien Joly (1772-1839), this print showcases his mastery in capturing everyday life in exquisite detail. In this bustling urban setting, we see a street vendor energetically selling breakfast cocoa to passersby. The seller stands with arms raised, drawing attention to his wares and enticing potential customers. A young boy accompanies him, adding an element of innocence and charm to the scene. The hand colouring adds depth and richness to the image, bringing it to life with warm hues that evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. The composition is carefully crafted, highlighting both the vendor's engaging posture and the surrounding cityscape. Joly's work reflects not only his artistic skill but also provides us with valuable insights into historical customs and traditions. This print offers a glimpse into daily life during the early 19th century in Paris or Ile de France. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of French culture - the tradition of enjoying cocoa as part of one's morning meal. It serves as a reminder that even simple acts like buying breakfast can be steeped in history and cultural significance.
