EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "The Goose Seller, 1826" we are transported to the bustling streets of Paris. The image showcases a female street trader skillfully balancing two geese in her hands, their legs trussed up for easy transportation. As she walks through the city, the heads of other geese peek over the rim of the basket strapped to her back. Dressed in traditional French attire, with an apron and a bonnet adorning her head, this woman embodies both strength and grace as she goes about her occupation. Her vibrant dress adds a splash of color to the scene, contrasting against the backdrop of busy streets and historical buildings. This engraving from "Arts, Metiers et Cris de Paris" provides us with a glimpse into everyday life during this era. It captures not only the trade and commerce that thrived on these streets but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of women in professions often overlooked. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both history and culture. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, hardworking individuals like this goose seller played an integral role in shaping society while navigating its challenges with determination and ingenuity.
