EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and bustling Parisian street scene captures the essence of the belle epoque era, with its multitude of colorful advertisements adorning every available surface. The year is 1885, and as you gaze upon this print, you are transported back in time to a world where medicine takes center stage. The walls are plastered with an array of posters promoting various pharmaceutical products, promising miraculous cures for all ailments imaginable. From remedies for hypochondria to quack medicines claiming to cure neurosis, these advertisements reflect the prevailing health concerns of the time. Amidst this sea of medical propaganda, other forms of advertising also make their presence known. Pianos beckon music enthusiasts while central heating systems promise warmth during chilly winters. A sandwich man clad in eye-catching attire walks through the crowd, serving as a walking billboard for yet another product or service. As you delve deeper into this intricately detailed engraving, it becomes evident that advertising permeates every aspect of life in this bustling metropolis. It reflects not only the fashion and trends but also highlights society's preoccupation with health and well-being. This fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century Paris serves as a reminder that even in bygone eras, commercialism played a significant role in shaping our daily lives.
