EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lent in Paris (colour litho)" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century France. The image captures a vibrant scene at the fish market, known as La Halle aux poissons, during the Lenten season. Shoppers and traders fill the market, their faces alive with anticipation as they peruse an abundant selection of seafood. The artist Henri Meyer skillfully depicts this snapshot of French culture for Le Petit Journal on March 4,1893. His attention to detail brings every aspect of the market to life – from the colorful array of fish displayed on ice to the animated conversations between buyers and sellers. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of how markets have always been vital hubs for food supply and trade. The sight of various animal species adds a touch of wildness amidst an otherwise urban setting, emphasizing our connection with nature's bounties. "Lent in Paris" not only showcases Meyer's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into daily life in late 19th-century France. It serves as a testament to the enduring tradition of Lenten observance and highlights Paris' rich culinary heritage. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and provides an intriguing window into French history that will captivate art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
