EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Lilies of the Valley, 1873" offers a poignant glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th-century Britain. The image showcases an unknown barefoot child, delicately holding a basket filled with vibrant flowers. Created by Kronheim & Co. , London in collaboration with Berlin Photographic Company, this enchanting engraving captures both the beauty and struggles of everyday life during that era. The young girl's presence on a dusty lane surrounded by lilies symbolizes her occupation as a flower seller. With determination etched on her face, she embodies resilience amidst poverty. Her job as a street vendor was not only common but also vital for many impoverished families to survive. Francois Souchon skillfully brings this scene to life through his masterful use of color and detail. The soft hues accentuate the delicate nature of the lily blooms while contrasting against the gritty reality of street trade. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back in time to witness an industrious child navigating their way through narrow avenues in search of customers willing to purchase these exquisite blossoms. "Lilies of the Valley, 1873" serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst adversity and economic hardship, there is still beauty to be found in simple acts such as selling flowers on busy streets – an enduring testament to human resilience throughout history.
