EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Frontispiece of Le Parfait Negociant" by Jacques Savary takes us back to 17th century Paris, immersing us in a bustling harbor scene. The image captures the essence of trade and commerce during the Louis XIV period, showcasing the economic activity that fueled France's mercantilism. In this lively snapshot, ships fill the docks as they are unloaded by porters carrying barrels and bundles of merchandise. The air is filled with conversation and haggling as merchants discuss prices while others laboriously load packages onto boats. A group gathers near a mast, deep in discussion about their trading endeavors. The image beautifully depicts the intricacies of commercial life at that time - from bargaining over money to transporting goods across vast distances. It offers a glimpse into an era where goose quills were used for record-keeping and Jean Baptiste Colbert played a significant role in shaping French economic policies. With its attention to detail, this engraving transports us back centuries ago when ports were vibrant hubs of activity, connecting nations through trade. It serves as a reminder of how commerce has always been an integral part of human civilization, driving progress and shaping societies. This remarkable piece from Pierre Landry's collection at Bibliotheque Nationale evokes curiosity about our historical roots while celebrating the timeless nature of business transactions that continue to shape our world today.
