Theodore Roussel's "The Little Fish Shop, Chelsea Embankment" is a 19th-century etching capturing a moment in London. Roussel, known for his detailed portrayals of urban life, meticulously captures the storefront of a small fish shop. The etching depicts the shop's window, its awning, and a lamppost in the foreground. The shop's interior and a figure inside are visible, adding to the realism of the scene. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading evoke the atmosphere of a bustling city street. This print offers a glimpse into the everyday life of London during the late 19th century.
