EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Coulies du marche au poisson (engraving)" transports us to a bustling fish market in 19th century Japan. The image, created by an anonymous French School artist, captures the vibrant energy and cultural richness of this Asian marketplace. Intriguingly, the engraving was originally featured as an illustration for Le Tour Du Monde in 1867, a renowned publication that provided readers with glimpses into different corners of the globe. This particular scene showcases coulies - local workers who assist in transporting and selling fish at the market. The composition is teeming with life as we witness a school of fish being traded among eager customers. The meticulous detailing brings out the unique characteristics of each species, highlighting their importance within Japanese cuisine and diet. The significance of this artwork extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a window into Japanese traditions and daily life during that era. It reminds us of the deep connection between food and culture, where markets like these play a vital role in sustaining communities while also showcasing regional diversity. Thanks to digital restoration techniques employed on this print, we can now appreciate every intricate detail with clarity. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical gem from their private collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to admire and contemplate upon.
