EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of an auction sale in 16th century Antwerp. In the foreground, we see "preco" the crier, blowing a trumpet to announce the start of the sale. Standing beside him is "subhastator" the public officer responsible for overseeing the proceedings. Their presence adds a sense of authority and formality to this lively street trade scene. Intriguingly, in the background, another sale is taking place as indicated by the sound of a bell ringing out. This detail highlights just how busy and vibrant these auctions were, with multiple transactions occurring simultaneously. The image itself is a facsimile of a woodcut from Josse Damhouderes' work published in 1557. Its inclusion in this private collection speaks to its historical significance and artistic value. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of this scene but also provides insight into Flemish commerce during this period. It offers viewers a glimpse into daily life on Antwerp's streets and showcases street vendors engaging in their trade. Overall, this print serves as both an educational tool for understanding 16th-century European commerce and as an aesthetically pleasing piece that captures a moment frozen in time.
