EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Woman dealing in old hats, 1737-1742" is a remarkable piece of art created by Bouchardon as part of his renowned series called Paris Street Cries. The artist beautifully captures the essence of 18th-century France through this depiction of a female street vendor selling second-hand hats. The woman in the image stands gracefully amidst the bustling streets of Paris, adorned in traditional attire with an apron draped over her dress. Her weathered hands delicately hold up a selection of hats for potential customers to peruse. One can almost hear her melodic cries inviting passersby to take notice and explore her collection. Bouchardon's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving; from the intricate patterns on the lady's dress to the varying styles and shapes of each hat she offers. The monochrome palette adds depth and character to the scene, transporting viewers back in time. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where women like her played an essential role in society - providing fashionable accessories while navigating their way through life's challenges. It serves as a testament to both the resilience and resourcefulness that defined these strong individuals during that era. This artwork not only showcases Bouchardon's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document capturing everyday life on Parisian streets centuries ago. It reminds us that even mundane activities such as buying or selling hats can be transformed into works of art that transcend time
