EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Small metiers of Paris: the shoe shoeshine" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Paris. The drawing, created by Charles Pezeu dit Carlopez in 1909, beautifully captures a moment in time when street tradesmen were an integral part of daily life. In this particular scene, we see a skilled shoe shoeshine diligently working on a customer's footwear. With his tools neatly arranged beside him and a focused expression on his face, he expertly polishes the shoes to perfection. The attention to detail in Pezeu-Carlopez's engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke brings out the essence of this small metier. The image transports us to an era where people relied on these artisans for their craftsmanship and dedication. It reminds us of the importance placed on appearance during that time period - even down to one's shoes. This shoe shoeshine represents not only a profession but also symbolizes the pride taken in one's work. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how much has changed over the years while also appreciating timeless traditions that have stood the test of time. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into everyday life in early 20th century Paris - its charm, its diversity, and its vibrant street culture that shaped the city into what it is today.
