EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Les Halles, Paris in 1786. Created by F Jourdan and featured in Thiery's Guide des Amateurs et des Etranger Voyageurs a Paris, this artwork captures the essence of one of France's most famous food markets. The scene depicts an interior view of Les Halles, showcasing its magnificent dome and architectural features. The intricate detailing on the ceiling adds a touch of grandeur to the already lively atmosphere. People can be seen going about their daily business, engaging in trade and commerce amidst an abundance of fresh produce. Les Halles was not only a place for buying and selling goods; it was also a social hub where locals gathered to connect with one another over delicious food. This image offers us a glimpse into the vibrant energy that once filled these historic market halls. Although Les Halles has since been relocated to the suburbs during the 1960s, this print serves as a reminder of its significance in French history. It transports us back to a time when traditional markets were at the heart of communities, providing sustenance and fostering connections between people from all walks of life. With its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail, this engraving by F Jourdan is truly an artistic masterpiece that allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and cultural importance of Les Halles in 18th-century Paris.
