Parisians Reading Newspapers in the Gardens of the Tuileries
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite handcolored aquatint engraving, taken from Victor Auver's illustration in "A Tour through Paris," published in London in 1825. This print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Parisians during the early 19th century. The scene unfolds in the lush gardens of the Tuileries, with Parisians of all walks of life gathered together, engrossed in the latest news. An elderly woman, dressed in a traditional French shawl, sits on a bench, her eyes scanning the pages of her newspaper. Nearby, a gentleman in fashionable attire leans against a tree, his attention focused intently on the news he holds in his hands. A soldier, taking a break from his duties, sits on the grass, a newspaper tucked under his arm. A newsstand, complete with a vendor hawking the latest editions, stands in the background, adding to the bustling atmosphere. Umbrellas are open, providing shade from the sun, while a group of jobbers and stockbrokers, easily identified by their waistcoats and top hats, engage in animated conversation, no doubt discussing the day's market trends. The intricate detail of this print, with its handcolored aquatint technique, brings the scene to life, transporting the viewer back in time. The gardens of the Tuileries, with their beautiful fountains and statues, provide a picturesque backdrop to this vibrant display of Parisian life. This print is not only a testament to the rich history of Paris but also a reminder of the enduring power of the written word and the importance of staying informed.
