The Thrushes - A Glimpse into the Anecdotal History of Food
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "The Thrushes" takes us on a delightful journey through time and culture. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this trade card offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of food and its social significance. In this enchanting illustration, we see two beautiful thrushes perched inside a grecian-style aviary. The birds sit gracefully amidst a backdrop of ancient steps, symbolizing their connection to history and tradition. The female thrush appears serene as she gazes out from her cage, while her male counterpart sings melodiously nearby. This artwork not only showcases the beauty of these avian creatures but also highlights their role in culinary traditions. It is believed that thrushes were once considered delicacies in France, particularly during the 19th century when this trade card was created. They were often sought after for their succulent meat and featured prominently in fine dining establishments. Through this charming print, we are transported back to an era where chocolate was enjoyed as both a sweet treat and an essential part of French culture. With references to chocolat Senez Sturbelle - perhaps a renowned sweet shop or candy store - we can imagine how these delectable chocolates complemented the flavorsome dishes served alongside them. "The Thrushes" serves as more than just an exquisite piece of art; it invites us to explore
