EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century print by Henri Adan captures the essence of a dedicated printseller, as he stands proudly before his stall in a bustling European marketplace. The printseller, dressed in a formal suit and vest, exudes a sense of professional pride as he gazes intently at a potential customer. A feather duster is tucked under his arm, ready to dust off any prints that may catch the eye of passersby. The print is a copy after Karl Girardet's original work, "Printseller," and showcases the artist's masterful use of watercolor and paper techniques. The rich colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to the Low Countries of Europe. The printseller's stall is filled with an array of prints, carefully arranged and protected by deck paint or glass. The prints, which range from portraits to landscapes, reflect the diverse artistic heritage of the time. The printseller's portfolio, visible at his side, is a testament to his dedication and expertise in the field. The print's title, "Mieux vaut tard qua jamais!" (Better late than never!), adds a sense of urgency and excitement to the scene. It is a reminder that the printseller's work is not just a job, but a passion that he shares with the world, one print at a time. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the rich artistic heritage of Europe. Whether displayed in a museum or a private home, it is sure to inspire and captivate all who see it.
