EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the Siege of Paris. Gustave Dore, renowned for his artistic prowess, skillfully depicts Maison Debos on boulevard Haussmann with pen and brown ink wash on paper. The image measures 16.9x23.1 cm and is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. In this bustling scene, we see a male butcher attending to his customers at the shop's counter while a female customer waits patiently nearby. The walls are adorned with hanging carcasses and hooks displaying an array of poultry, showcasing the abundance of meat available despite the challenging circumstances of war. The cashier stands behind the cashdesk, diligently recording each transaction as customers purchase their desired cuts of flesh. A man wearing a top hat can be seen engrossed in reading a report or perhaps studying a drawing or sketch related to the ongoing conflict. This artwork provides us with valuable insight into daily life during the Franco-Prussian War and offers glimpses into how commerce continued amidst adversity. It serves as both an historical document and an exquisite example of Dore's talent for capturing intricate details that bring scenes to life.
