EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Boulevard Haussmann in Paris, 1871. Amidst the chaos of the Franco-Prussian War, where Paris was under siege for several months, this image encapsulates a poignant moment in history. An English butcher's stall stands prominently on the street corner, offering an array of meats sourced from unexpected origins. The scarcity caused by the war is evident as even animals from Jardins des Plantes (Paris Zoo), including elephants, find their way onto this market stall. The desperation for sustenance during these trying times led to every available edible resource being consumed. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a scene that reflects both resilience and despair. People gather around the butchers' stall with hungry eyes and weary expressions, hoping to secure some nourishment amidst widespread shortage. The hardship faced by both traders and customers alike is palpable. Wood engraving brings depth to this monochrome masterpiece, capturing not only the physical surroundings but also conveying emotions hidden within each face present on that crowded street. This photograph serves as a reminder of how history shapes our lives and how even in moments of struggle, humanity perseveres through ingenuity and determination. Ann Ronan Pictures has immortalized this significant period with their remarkable print collection - transporting us back to a time when survival meant finding sustenance amidst adversity on Boulevard Haussmann.
