EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the series "Cris de Paris" (The Cries of Paris) by Carle Vernet transports us back to the bustling streets of early 19th century France. The oyster seller depicted in this lithograph watercolor is a vivid representation of the traditional trades and merchants that once populated the vibrant city of Paris. With meticulous attention to detail, Vernet captures the essence of street vendors with their distinctive calls and colorful costumes. The oyster seller stands proudly, offering his wares to passersby with a sense of purpose and determination. Through this artwork, we are given a glimpse into a bygone era where commerce thrived on the cobblestone streets. The neoclassical style employed by Vernet adds an air of sophistication to this scene, elevating the humble oyster seller to a figure worthy of admiration. As we admire this piece, we can almost hear the sounds and smell the scents of old Paris coming alive before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continue to shape modern-day France. This print is not just a visual masterpiece but also a window into a world long past, inviting us to explore and appreciate the traditions that have shaped our society today.
