EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "The first Parisians or inhabitants of Lutece" takes us on a journey back in time to the origins of one of the world's most iconic cities. The image showcases a snapshot of daily life in Lutece, the ancient predecessor to modern-day Paris. As dusk settles over the landscape, wisps of smoke rise from humble huts scattered along the banks of the majestic Seine River. In this enchanting scene, we witness a bustling community engaged in various activities. A young girl stands by her mother's side as she tends to a cooking fire, filling the air with tantalizing aromas that evoke images of hearty French cuisine. Inhabitants go about their routines - some fishing along the riverbanks while others engage in conversation or simply observe their surroundings. These early Parisians embody both Gaulish and Celtic influences, reflecting an era steeped in history and antiquity. The print offers us a glimpse into how these resilient people thrived amidst nature's bounty and forged their existence within this picturesque habitat. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, human connection and survival were deeply intertwined with nature's offerings. Preserved through time by an unknown artist's skilled hand, this engraving allows us to appreciate not only our shared past but also marvel at how far we have come since those early days when Lutece was just beginning its transformation into what would become one of Europe's most beloved cities – Paris.
