EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the streets of Paris during the reign of Louis XIII. The image showcases a group of wine criers, an integral part of French culture, as they make their way through the bustling city. These wine criers were known for their distinctive attire and unique role in promoting and selling wine to the public. In this particular scene, we see them led by their chef who proudly wears a silver hanap, a traditional drinking vessel often associated with celebrations and feasts. This elegant accessory adds an air of sophistication to the procession, symbolizing the importance and prestige attached to wine in French society. The engraving beautifully captures not only the historical significance but also highlights the artistic talent of Leonard de Selva. Through his lens, we are transported into a bygone era where merchants played a vital role in shaping urban life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, it serves as a reminder that Paris has always been synonymous with fine wines and rich cultural heritage. It is an exquisite testament to centuries-old traditions that continue to thrive even today.
