EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in the bustling city of Paris during the 19th century. The image showcases a view of the boat docked at quai de Bercy, where traders paid their grants and taxes to import goods into the city. Drawn by Gustave Fraipont, this detailed drawing is taken from "La seine a travers Paris" by Saint-Juirs in 1890. The boat itself stands as a symbol of commerce and trade, representing the economic heartbeat of France during that era. It served as an essential means of transport for both goods and passengers along the Seine River, connecting different parts of Europe. The scene depicts a snapshot of daily life on the riverbank, with merchants busy unloading their wares onto carts while others await their turn to pay their dues. The architecture surrounding them adds to the charm and character of this historic setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how trade was conducted in one of Europe's most vibrant cities. This print serves as a testament to France's rich history and its significant role in shaping European commerce. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have been granted access to this extraordinary artwork that encapsulates not only an important aspect of French history but also showcases Gustave Fraipont's exceptional talent as an artist.
