EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting black and white engraving that offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Lisbon, Portugal during the 19th century. The image, which is part of the collection of King Ferdinand at Lisbon, was created from a painting by the Portuguese amateur artist, Viscount de Menezes. The scene portrays a vibrant and lively street corner, where the female chestnut vendors hold a prominent position. These women, known for their gossiping nature, can be found at the doors of wine shops and the gates of gardens, selling spirits and other refreshments to the humbler classes. The engraving showcases a remarkable specimen of this class of women, who are often attractive to customers despite their profession. The archway in the background adds an architectural feature to the scene, showcasing the beautiful old-world charm of Lisbon. Children can be seen playing nearby, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the street. The vendors are depicted selling chestnuts from baskets, while a man carries a jug on his shoulder, suggesting the sale of other refreshments. The image, which was published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1876, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Lisbon during this period. The female chestnut vendors, with their bare feet and colorful attire, add a touch of warmth and character to the scene, making it a beloved piece of historical art. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Portugal and the vibrant street life of Lisbon during the 19th century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, or the culture of Portugal and Europe.
