EDITORS COMMENTS
The Colonial and Indian Exhibition: A Glimpse into the Australian Fruit Stalls at the Colonial Market, 1886 This evocative black and white engraving captures the bustling atmosphere of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition held at South Kensington, London, in 1886. The Australian fruit stalls, showcased in the Colonial Market, are the focus of this intriguing image. The exhibition, which ran from May to October 1886, was a grand celebration of the British Empire's colonial territories and their resources. The Colonial Market was a key feature of the event, providing visitors with an opportunity to explore and purchase goods from various parts of the Empire. In this scene, we see a crowded interior of the market, with numerous stalls selling a wide array of goods. However, our attention is drawn to the Australian fruit stalls, where an assortment of exotic fruits is on display. The stallholders, dressed in colonial attire, engage with visitors, eager to sell their wares. The vibrant colours of the fruits contrast sharply with the monochrome tones of the engraving, adding to the visual appeal of the image. The intricate details of the stalls, their wares, and the visitors add depth and texture to the scene. The Colonial and Indian Exhibition was a significant event in Victorian England, attracting thousands of visitors from all walks of life. This print offers a glimpse into the sights, sounds, and smells of the exhibition, transporting us back to a bygone era of colonialism and trade.
