EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Selling Silk-worms Egg-cards" by Shinichi Suzuki takes us back to Japan in the late 19th century. The image showcases a bustling street scene, where silk merchants proudly display their wares. The attention to detail is evident in this hand-colored albumen silver print, as every element comes alive with vibrant colors. In the foreground, we see a group of vendors surrounded by stacks of delicate egg cards containing silk-worm eggs. These cards were essential for sericulture, the process of raising silkworms and harvesting their precious cocoons. With meticulous care, these sellers would offer their merchandise to passersby who sought to embark on this ancient craft. The composition beautifully captures the energy and spirit of trade during that era. People from all walks of life can be seen engaging with the merchants - some curious onlookers observing from a distance while others actively participate in negotiations or make purchases. Shinichi Suzuki's skillful lens transports us back in time, allowing us to witness an important aspect of Japanese culture and commerce. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history surrounding silk production in Japan and reminds us of its significance not only as an industry but also as an art form cherished worldwide. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded once again that photography has always been a powerful medium capable of preserving moments frozen in time for generations to come.
