This print captures a remarkable commemorative painting of the Union of the Merchants of Rouen, dating back to the late 17th century. Created in 1849 as a reproduction based on an original manuscript illustration from that era, this image showcases the concept of agreement and partnership among merchants during a significant period in French history. In this scene, we see women dressed elegantly, standing side by side with men, symbolizing unity and equality within the merchant community. They are depicted holding hands and shaking hands as a gesture of peace offering and trade collaboration. The composition beautifully portrays the essence of cooperation and mutual support that characterized Rouen's bustling commercial landscape. Rouen, located in Haute-Normandie region in France, was renowned for its thriving trade industry during both the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This artwork pays homage to those who played pivotal roles in shaping commerce within this vibrant city. The monochrome engraving adds depth to every intricate detail captured by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, A Rivaud - authors behind Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance publication.
