EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Marchand du matin a Naples" transports us to the vibrant streets of 19th century Italy. This artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of daily life in Naples. The image depicts a local merchant going about his morning routine, carrying a basket filled with an assortment of goods for sale. Dressed in traditional Italian attire, the merchant's clothing reflects both cultural heritage and practicality. His rope belt secures his garments as he navigates the bustling city streets, delivering essential supplies to eager customers upstairs. This engraving also raises important questions about racial stereotypes and ethnological differences prevalent during that era. It serves as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published by Hachette in 1872. Through this lens, we are reminded of humanity's diverse tapestry and how our appearances can shape perceptions. The artist skillfully portrays not only the individual but also provides glimpses into Italian society at large. In the background, we catch sight of iconic landmarks such as Naples' flag fluttering proudly against a European Union backdrop. Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on history while appreciating the beauty found within everyday scenes.
