EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Broom dealer. Brooms, brooms, brooms, brooms!" takes us back to the early 19th century in France. The image showcases a street vendor surrounded by an array of brooms, proudly advertising his trade to passersby. The composition captures the essence of a bustling street scene during this era. The French School artist behind this work skillfully portrays the hardworking nature of the individual depicted. With only one person in focus, we are drawn to their determination and dedication to their profession. This evokes a sense of admiration for those who tirelessly worked to make ends meet during that time. The sizeable collection of brooms on display highlights not only the vendor's commitment but also emphasizes the importance and prevalence of such tools in everyday life at that period. Brooms were essential for maintaining cleanliness both indoors and outdoors. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the social class structure prevalent during this time as well as aspects related to employment and laboring classes. It serves as a reminder of how different professions played integral roles within society's fabric. As we delve into history through art like this print by Jean Duvallon, we can appreciate not just its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us back in time and shed light on various facets of daily life from centuries past.
