EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Costers, 1920" and captured by artist George Belcher, offers a glimpse into the vibrant city life of London in the early 20th century. The image is part of the book "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" edited by Geoffrey Holme and published by The Studio Ltd. in London. In this scene, we see a bustling avenue filled with local people going about their daily routines. Two costermongers, or street traders, stand on the road engrossed in conversation while their arms are folded and hands placed casually on hips. A lady passerby joins them as they engage in animated gossiping. Belcher's masterful engraving technique beautifully captures the essence of these working-class individuals who played an integral role in British society during that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to transport ourselves back to this era. The photograph not only showcases the occupation and trade of these men but also highlights the strong sense of community within London's streets. It serves as a testament to how literature can provide valuable insights into historical moments like these. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate George Belcher's skillful depiction of everyday life in early 20th-century Britain through his artistic lens.
