Chestnut Chestnuts Cooking Furs Muff Roasted Roasting Sale Seller Selling Trader Trades Vendor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Parisian street life in the early 1900s, as a French vendor skillfully roasts and sells hot chestnuts to a well-dressed Edwardian woman. Dating back to 1908, the photograph presents a vibrant scene of trade and commerce on the bustling streets of Paris. The street trader, with his large, copper pot and long-handled wooden spoon, expertly tosses the chestnuts in the pan, while the woman, bundled up against the chill in a fur-trimmed muff and elegant clothing, holds out a small bag to receive her purchase. The aroma of roasting chestnuts wafts through the air, drawing in passersby and adding to the sensory experience of the bustling scene. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the sights, sounds, and smells of Parisian street life over a century ago.
