EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in France. The image features Pierre Rivolon, a Breton merchant from Roscoff, as he poses on December 11,1948, in Plymouth, England. After enduring a decade-long interruption due to the ravages of war, Rivolon resumes his tour as a street vendor and travelling salesman. The photograph showcases an offbeat documentation of Rivolon's trade. With his trusty bicycle laden with baskets filled with fruit and vegetables, he traverses the streets selling his wares to eager customers. His weathered face tells tales of resilience and determination amidst adversity. One cannot help but notice the prominent display of garlic hanging from his bicycle handlebars – a quintessential symbol of French cuisine. This detail adds an authentic touch to the scene while also illustrating Rivolon's commitment to providing quality produce to those he encounters along his journey. The composition is beautifully captured in this horizontal shot by Agence France-Presse (AFP). The use of black and white enhances the nostalgic feel of this illustration-like photograph. It serves as a reminder not only of one man's triumph over hardship but also offers us a glimpse into everyday life during post-war Europe. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates history frozen in time – an homage to resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power that lies within individuals like Pierre Rivolon who refuse to let circumstances define their destiny.
