Goose-market in Cracow
Collection Overview
Depicts crowds of people at the goose-market in Cracow, Poland, ca. 1860s. Hasidic Jew with payos and streimel in foreground is bending over to pick up a goose (from a group of geese); man (possibly a vendor) with long white beard leans against a wagon and smokes a pipe. Two children (one barefoot) walk in the right foreground. Several women in background carry baskets; man dressed in suit and top hat also visible. Streets appear to be laden with straw; two-story building in background has thatched roof. Artist signature (A. Schonn 1869) appears in bottom left corner of engraving. This print of the 1869 engraving has a paper with artist and engraver information pasted on the back.
