EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a seller of oysters from the renowned store Prunier. Created by Sem (Georges Goursat), a celebrated artist known for his satirical illustrations, this artwork beautifully depicts the bustling atmosphere of an oyster market in early 20th century France. The seller stands proudly behind his display, meticulously arranged baskets brimming with fresh seafood. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the textures and flavors of these delectable treasures from the sea. Every shell glistens with iridescent hues, enticing passersby to indulge in their succulent contents. Sem's signature can be seen at the bottom corner of this piece, reminding us of his exceptional talent and contribution to French art history. His ability to capture everyday scenes with humor and charm is evident in this work as well; it serves as both an advertisement for Prunier's oysters and a testament to Sem's artistic prowess. Preserved within a private collection, this chromolithography offers us a glimpse into an era when advertising posters were not only informative but also works of art themselves. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this print, ensuring that its beauty endures beyond its original purpose. As we admire this remarkable composition today, we are transported back in time - immersed in the sights and sounds of bustling markets where sellers like him brought joy through their offerings.
