EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Barbier ambulant, 1714-15" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 18th century France. The creator remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this levantine barber is undeniable. In this engraved portrait, a distinguished man stands proudly in his traditional attire, representing his profession with utmost dignity. His job as a traveling barber allowed him to traverse the country, offering his services wherever he went. The etching and engraving techniques used in this artwork bring out every intricate detail of his clothing and facial features. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this piece as part of its heritage art collection, showcasing the rich history and cultural diversity that existed during that era. Jean Baptiste Van Mour's influence can be seen in this work, although it is not confirmed if he was indeed the creator. As we gaze at this image frozen in time, we are transported to an era where occupations like barbers held great significance within society. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared human experience throughout different centuries and countries.
