EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant conversation between a baker and a delicatessen, reminding us of the vital role they play in our lives. The engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases two craftsmen engaged in deep discussion. Their words are powerfully conveyed through their expressions and body language. The caption aptly describes their conversation as one that emphasizes their indispensable contribution to society: "Without us, we would all die!". These simple yet profound words highlight the significance of these artisans in providing essential sustenance to communities. The image serves as a reminder of how interconnected we are with those who work diligently behind the scenes to ensure our basic needs are met. The bakery represents nourishment and warmth, symbolized by freshly baked bread depicted prominently in the engraving. On the other hand, the delicatessen signifies variety and flavor with an array of cold meats on display. Together, they represent not only sustenance but also culinary craftsmanship. This historical artwork evokes feelings of gratitude for these unsung heroes who tirelessly labor to feed us daily. It prompts reflection on our reliance on such tradespeople throughout history and encourages appreciation for their dedication and skill. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures this timeless scene from centuries past while preserving its relevance today. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is a testament to human connection, communication, and survival through food – fundamental aspects that unite us all.
