EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fruitier, a merchant itinerant of fresh fruit, as he navigates the streets of Roustchouk in Romania. The engraving, created by Emile Bayard and published in "Le tour du monde" in 1873, offers a glimpse into the journey to Bulgaria undertaken by Guillaume Lejean in 1867. Fruitier is depicted with his transport hood securely fastened on his back, ready to carry his precious cargo of fruits from place to place. A portable scale hangs from his side, highlighting his commitment to fair trade and accurate measurements. His weathered face tells tales of countless miles traveled and encounters with diverse cultures along the way. As a travelling merchant, Fruitier embodies the spirit of commerce and human connection that transcends borders. His presence adds vibrancy to the bustling streetscape while also providing sustenance for those who seek nourishment from nature's bounty. The intricate details captured by Bayard's skilled hand showcase not only Fruitier himself but also offer insight into botany, natural history, and science through this botanical portrait. This engraving serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical documentation. Preserved within Leonard de Selva's private collection today, this remarkable image invites us to reflect upon the timeless traditions of trade and exploration that have shaped our world throughout history.
