EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Fruit Seller of Hamburg, Germany, with Basket," is a handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante in 1827. The engraving showcases a dedicated and hardworking fruit seller from Hamburg, Germany, in the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a starched fichu on her bonnet, protecting her from the elements, and layers of petticoats worn over her other garments. The intricately designed bonnet and the voluminous petticoats were common fashion trends during this era, reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the time. The fruit seller holds a large, woven basket brimming with ripe, red apples, ready to be sold to eager customers. The apples, with their glossy sheen and perfect roundness, suggest their freshness and appeal. The seller's expression is warm and inviting, conveying her pride in her produce and her commitment to providing the best to her clients. The meticulous detail in this engraving is evident in the intricate patterns on the seller's clothing, the textures of the apples, and the intricate weave of the basket. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This print is a testament to the rich history and culture of Hamburg and the important role that fruit sellers played in providing sustenance and nourishment to their communities during the 19th century.
