1918 20th Century Coloured France Garlic Merchant Norman Occupation Peasant Seller Marchand

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Marchand D'ailes" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, immersing us in the vibrant era of France's Norman countryside. The color illustration, originally featured in Gordon Home's renowned book "France" published in 1918, beautifully captures the essence of a French merchant at work. In this vertical composition, we see a weathered peasant merchant proudly displaying his wares. Clad in traditional attire, he exudes an air of authenticity and wisdom that comes with age and experience. His occupation as a Marchand d'ailes (garlic seller) is evident from the baskets brimming with plump bulbs arranged neatly before him. The vivid colors used by Hilary Jane Morgan bring life to this scene; every detail meticulously rendered to transport us into this enchanting world. From the rich hues of green on his hat and vest to the warm tones adorning his wrinkled face, each stroke adds depth and character to our protagonist. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of France's rural charm during a time when simplicity reigned supreme. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance – capturing not only an occupation but also preserving cultural heritage for generations to come. Hilary Jane Morgan's skillful interpretation breathes new life into Home's original work, allowing viewers today to appreciate the beauty found within these pages from 1918 France.
