This black and white lithograph, titled "The coalman from 'Les Cris de Paris'", transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris. The image depicts a hardworking man, dressed in typical fashion of the era, carrying a heavy load of coal on his back. His face bears the marks of labor and resilience as he navigates through the city's cobblestone streets. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Carle Vernet, known for his ability to capture everyday life with great detail and authenticity. Through this lithograph, Vernet sheds light on an often overlooked figure in society - the working class individual who played a vital role in fueling industrial progress. The composition exudes a sense of movement and energy as we witness this coalman going about his daily duties.

It invites us to contemplate themes such as employment, social class, and Europe's evolving landscape during that time. "The coalman from 'Les Cris de Paris'" is more than just an artwork; it is a window into another era - one that reminds us of our shared human experience across centuries.
