EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Distribution Of Food, Strasbourg, 1744" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 18th-century France. Captured by artists Weis and Lebas in 1885, this engraving showcases a bustling scene filled with people eagerly awaiting their share of food. The image depicts a crowd gathered around a distribution point where meat is being handed out. The focal point of the picture is an animal - a cow - symbolizing sustenance for the community. Its presence emphasizes the importance of livestock in providing nourishment during that time period. Located in Strasbourg, Alsace, this snapshot offers insight into the country's rural landscape and its reliance on agriculture for survival. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to the composition while highlighting details such as clothing styles and architectural elements specific to that era. Paul Lacroix's work from his book "18th Century Institutions, Usages And Costumes" provides historical context for this image. It serves as a visual representation of French society between 1700-1789 when food distribution was crucial due to economic disparities. As we gaze upon this remarkable print created by Weis and Lebas under Paul Lacroix's guidance, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of daily life in 18th-century France – the communal gathering around food resources necessary for survival.
