EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "L Ecaillere, Oysters" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century Paris. The image showcases a Parisian vendor, known as L Ecaillere, selling an abundance of fresh oysters from his street stall. With its rich colors and intricate details, this colour litho by Maurice Leloir beautifully captures the essence of French culture and cuisine. The scene depicted in this print was originally created as an illustration for a large advertising card issued by Au Bon Marche, one of Paris' renowned department stores in the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to how food played a significant role in French society during that time period. Oysters were highly sought after delicacies in France, often enjoyed with a squeeze of lemon for added zest. This image not only highlights the importance of oysters within the French diet but also provides insight into the vibrant street life and food supply chain prevalent in historical Paris. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to an era where vendors like L Ecaillere brought joy to passersby through their delectable offerings. Let this photograph serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage embedded within every bite we take today.
