About the Item
Paris Street Vendors – 1835 Prints of Lemonade Seller & Flower Girl
This exceptional pair of hand-coloured antique prints offers a vivid glimpse into the bustling street life of 19th-century Paris. Published in 1835 by J. Dowding, London, and illustrated by R. Bridgens, these works are from the renowned collection “Illustrations of the Manners and Costumes of France, Switzerland and Italy,” a fascinating document of the daily lives and distinctive attire of working people in these regions.
The first print, titled “Lemonade & Barley Water, Paris,” depicts a vendor clad in a vibrant blue and yellow costume, bearing an elaborate brass and red contraption on his back used to dispense refreshments. The bright colours of his attire and the intricate details of his equipment showcase the artistry of Bridgens’ work, emphasizing the importance of street vendors in providing relief from the summer heat in Parisian squares and promenades. In the background, figures dressed in elegant 19th-century attire add to the authenticity and charm of the scene.
The second image, “Flower Girl, Paris,” captures a young woman balancing a beautifully woven basket brimming with bright flowers against the backdrop of grand Parisian architecture. Her traditional striped sleeves and crisp white apron suggest the typical costume of the period’s flower sellers, while her poised and somewhat pensive expression adds a touch of sentiment to the print. The architectural detail behind her, possibly a monument or column adorned with a decorative wreath, reinforces the Parisian setting.
Both prints are superb examples of hand-colouring, with delicate shading and lively detail that bring these vibrant street scenes to life. They encapsulate the essence of Paris as it was in the early 19th century – a city of bustling markets, lively commerce, and distinctive cultural characters.
Condition Summary:
Good condition with minor age-related toning and some faint foxing. The hand-colouring remains vivid and eye-catching, preserving the unique charm of these historical prints.
Framing Tips:
A thin gold or black frame with an ivory mat will highlight the vibrant hand-colouring and bring an elegant touch to these historical Parisian scenes.
