EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Strawberry Merchant. Buy strawberries!" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century France. The image, captured by French School artists around 1819, showcases a strawberry vendor passionately promoting his goods to passersby. Measuring at 42.5x32.5 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the small street trades that thrived during this era. It was created by the Printing and Image Factory of Delhalt between 1819 and 1882, with additional contributions from Roy (c. 1820-1865) and Thomas Metz around 1860. The scene depicts one lone worker diligently tending to large wicker baskets filled with luscious strawberries - nature's vibrant jewels - enticing potential customers with their sweet aroma and vivid colors. This solitary figure represents the working class or proletariat, embodying the laboring classes who made their living through street trade in Europe. The composition exudes an air of authenticity as it captures not only the essence of early 19th-century France but also provides insight into the economic activities that sustained communities during this time period. Through Jean Duvallon's lens, we are transported to a different era where street vendors played an integral role in society by providing essential goods like fresh fruit to their fellow citizens. This artwork serves as both a historical record and a celebration of these hardworking individuals who contributed to their community's livelihoods while showcasing the beauty found within everyday life.
