EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of street life in the eighteenth century, showcasing an itinerant seller of cocoa or chocolate with a unique and charming setup. The vendor is depicted carrying an urn of hot cocoa on his back, ready to serve passersby with a warm and comforting drink. What makes this scene truly special are the cups hanging on chains from the vendor's waist, inviting customers to enjoy a cup of delicious cocoa on-the-go. The attention to detail in this print, from the intricate engravings on the urn to the elaborate costume worn by the seller, transports us back in time to a bustling street filled with enticing aromas and lively interactions. Jean-Baptiste Poisson's skillful artistry brings this scene to life, capturing not only the physical appearance of the vendor but also his vibrant personality and dedication to his trade. This image serves as a window into a bygone era, where street vendors played an integral role in society by providing essential goods like cocoa or chocolate. As we admire this lithograph from Paul Lacroix's renowned work "The Eighteenth Century: Its Institutions, Customs, and Costumes," we can't help but feel nostalgic for simpler times when small pleasures like enjoying a cup of hot cocoa on a busy street corner brought joy and warmth to everyday life.
