An old man who is a herb seller sits at his improvised corner in the Rue de Seine market with several wooden slatted fruit and vegetable crates and boxes filled with his stock. A man wearing a trilby is passing by behind him. Rhodes Scholar Jonathan Kozol (born 1936) is buying fresh herbs. He was a frequent visitor to the Beat Hotel and wrote a novel, The Fume of Poppies, first published in 1958. In the background is a workshop where cageots a fruit - fruit and vegetable crates - are made in a traditional style. In the corner of the workshop a pile of thin slats of box wood rising to the ceiling will be made into fruit boxes. A distintegrating fly poster high up on the wall announces Paix en Algerie - Peace in Algeria - one of many fly-posters seen around Paris during the fight for independence for Algeria. Photographer Harold Chapman recalls: "I was concentrating on the herb seller early on because I was told about him by Gregory Corso and the herb seller became a subject in itself and I discovered that Jonathan Kozol went there so I went with him." 6e arrondissement, St-Germain-des-Pres, Left Bank, Paris, France, 1963.
