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. 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.
