EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Maison Seigre, cheese maker at the market of Aligre, 1883" takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in the late 19th century. French photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captures a moment in time that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship involved in cheese making. In this image, we see a skilled artisan known as a fromager or cheese maker meticulously tending to his creations. The Maison Seigre stands proudly amidst an array of dairy products, showcasing their expertise in producing fine cheeses. The market of Aligre serves as the backdrop for this scene, with its vibrant atmosphere and lively commerce. Through this photograph, we are transported to an era where food production was still deeply rooted in traditional methods. The dedication and labor required to create these exquisite cheeses is evident on the face of the craftsman. Leonard de Selva's mastery behind the lens allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of such trades within European culture during this period. This snapshot offers a glimpse into France's rich culinary heritage while reminding us of our reliance on local artisans for our food supply. As we admire this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it serves as a reminder that even today, centuries later, there is still value in preserving age-old traditions and supporting small-scale producers who continue to uphold these time-honored practices.
