EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the holiday season in Paris during the late 1890s. The image depicts a French street trader selling bunches of mistletoe to passersby in the bustling streets of the city. Dressed in a simple, worn coat and a felt hat pulled low over his brow, the man exudes a sense of determination and tradition as he calls out to potential customers. Mistletoe, with its lush, green foliage and white berries, had long been associated with the festive season in Europe, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe was well established by the 1890s. The trader's bunches of mistletoe are artfully arranged on a wooden crate, their glossy leaves and berries gleaming in the soft winter light. The scene is one of hustle and bustle, with people of all ages and social classes milling about in the crowded streets. Horse-drawn carriages clatter by, their drivers calling out to the trader as they pass, while children play and laugh in the background. The atmosphere is festive and lively, with the sound of holiday music and the scent of roasting chestnuts in the air. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring traditions and customs that have shaped the holiday season for generations. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a Parisian Christmas in the late 1800s, and to appreciate the simple joys of the season that continue to inspire us today.
