EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from 1850 depicts a Colouring seller in France during the 19th century. The image showcases a man, dressed in traditional French attire, engaged in his trade of selling dyes and colouring for clothes. His hat adds to the charm of his character as he stands proudly amidst an array of vibrant samples. The illustration was originally created for "Costumes Civils et Militaires des Francais a Travers Les Siecles" by Roy in 1881, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and working-class life of that era. The attention to detail is evident in the intricate engravings on display. This print captures not only the essence of French culture but also provides insight into the clothing industry at that time. It serves as a reminder of how garments were handcrafted and dyed before modern manufacturing techniques took over. Displayed against a neutral background, this piece allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such prints and its historical significance. Preserved within private collections, it offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and witness firsthand how individuals like this colouring seller contributed to society through their unique trades. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth an exquisite piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, reminding us of our rich cultural heritage while celebrating those who played vital roles within it.
