EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A group of buyers of canaries, Paris, 1931" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century France. Captured by artist Ernest Flammarion as part of his book Paris published in 1931, this image showcases a vibrant bird market scene. In the heart of Paris, amidst a sea of people dressed in their finest clothes and headgear, we see men and women engrossed in the trade of canaries. The crowd is abuzz with activity as customers carefully inspect caged birds while sellers eagerly await potential buyers. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement. The composition beautifully captures the essence of French culture during that era - elegant ladies donning fashionable dresses and hats mingle with dapper gentlemen along a lively avenue. Each person plays their role in this busy marketplace where avian companions are bought and sold. Ernest Flammarion's monochrome depiction transports us to a time when bird markets were an integral part of daily life in Paris. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the rich history and traditions surrounding these feathered creatures. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, let it serve as a reminder not only of our past but also our enduring fascination with nature's beauty captured within cages.
