EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant street life of Covent Garden in London back in 1877. The image showcases a group of flower women going about their daily business, selling their colorful blooms to passersby. The women are dressed in traditional attire, with straw hats and shawls adding to the charm of the scene. Photographed by John Thomson and printed on double-weight paper, this historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the bustling marketplace of Victorian London. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the composition, from the wrought metal gate fence in the background to the baskets brimming with fresh flowers at the forefront. The photograph not only documents a specific moment in time but also sheds light on social conditions and commerce during that era. It serves as a reminder of how people made a living through hard work and determination, despite facing poverty and other challenges. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back to a bygone era where simplicity reigned supreme and community thrived amidst adversity. It is a testament to resilience and perseverance, captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images for all to appreciate and reflect upon.
