EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th century Japan. The scene depicts a discount cloth dealer engaging in a transaction with a young woman who carries her toddler on her back. The artist, whose identity remains unknown, skillfully captures the essence of street commerce in this era. The image exudes a sense of authenticity and cultural richness as it portrays an everyday moment in Japanese society. The merchant can be seen showcasing his fabrics to the woman, while she carefully examines them, perhaps searching for the perfect material for her family's needs. It is evident that negotiation is taking place between these two individuals from different walks of life. This engraving was originally published in "le tour du monde" under the direction of D Edouard Charton in 1869. It serves as a visual documentation of Aime Humbert's journey to Japan during 1863-1864 as he served as minister of the Swiss Confederation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded not only of the historical significance but also how art has always been able to capture moments that transcend time and space.
