EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene at "The Restaurant of wet feet" in the Marche des Innocents, located in Paris. The engraving, created by Godefroy Durand (1832-1896), provides a glimpse into the daily life of common people during the 19th century. In this lively image, we see a mix of both male and female patrons enjoying their meals at outdoor tables. The working class individuals depicted here are likely locals or peddlers taking a break from their busy schedules to grab a bite to eat. The street lamp illuminates the scene as trade continues around them. The market fountain stands tall in the background, serving as both a landmark and a source of water for those passing through. This open-air eating house is filled with cheap food options that catered to Parisians from all walks of life. Durand's artwork beautifully captures the essence of this era, showcasing not only the vibrant atmosphere but also highlighting how people would gather together to dine and socialize amidst their daily routines. It serves as an important reminder of how food has always been an integral part of our lives, bringing us together regardless of social status or occupation. This piece invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in 19th-century Parisian culture while appreciating Durand's artistic talent and attention to detail.
