"Marchand de Sel, Corée" (Salt Merchant, Korea) from February 1936 depicts a Korean salt vendor — one of the peninsula's essential trade figures, the salt that preserved food and seasoned everything. Jacoulet's portrait of the salt merchant belongs to his sustained engagement with Korean working life, documenting people whose labor sustained Korean society across the colonial period. The February date suggests a winter scene, the merchant perhaps wrapped against cold.
