EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Street merchant selling coffee" takes us back to the bustling streets of the Levant in the 18th century. The French School artist, G. Scotin, beautifully captures a scene filled with cultural richness and trade. In this vibrant engraving, we see a male street vendor pouring steaming coffee from an ornate pot into a delicate cup. Dressed in traditional Ottoman Empire attire, he wears a turban that adds an air of exoticism to his appearance. The seller's skillful hands and focused expression reveal his expertise in this ancient craft. The ambiance surrounding him is alive with energy as passersby stop to indulge in this aromatic beverage. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, enticing potential customers with its rich scent. This print is part of the Collection of Prints of Costumes from the Levant instigated by M. de Ferriol, the French Ambassador at that time. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of daily life during this period. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, it offers us a glimpse into Istanbul's vibrant streets and their thriving trade culture centuries ago. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens on eArchives Charmet platform, we are transported across time and space to witness not only commerce but also cultural exchange between nations through something as simple yet significant as sharing a cup of coffee on busy city streets.
