EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of a working-class woman in Paris during the 19th century. The Ecaillere, or oyster shucker, is depicted wearing traditional attire - a bonnet, shawl, clogs, and a long white apron with a pocket. Her outfit speaks to her trade as she prepares to shuck oysters for eager customers on the bustling streets of Paris. The intricate details in this illustration by Louis-Marie Lante are brought to life through the skilled handcolouring by Gatine. Every lace trim and fold in her apron is meticulously rendered, showcasing the craftsmanship of both artist and engraver. As we gaze upon this image from "Ouvrieres de Paris" (Tradeswomen of Paris), we are transported back in time to witness the daily life of a hardworking woman making her living through manual labor. The basket at her feet holds fresh seafood ready for sale, while she stands poised with her tools of the trade in hand. This print serves as a window into history, highlighting not only the fashion and style of 19th-century Parisian women but also shedding light on their roles as merchants and vendors in society. It is a testament to their resilience and dedication to their craft amidst challenging circumstances.
