Fish Seller, Scotland, 1936 - A Glimpse into the Traditional Trades of Old

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken in 1936 by Donald McLeish, we are transported back to a simpler time in Scotland. The image captures a fish seller going about her daily routine with her young daughter by her side. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire - an apron and shawl - she stands proudly at the front door of their tenement building, offering fresh seafood to passersby. The scene exudes authenticity as it showcases not only the occupation but also the close-knit community that thrived during those times. With a basket full of fish on one arm and a book tucked under the other, this hardworking mother embodies resilience and resourcefulness. The narrow lane leading up to their home serves as a backdrop for this slice-of-life moment. It is evident that selling fish was more than just a job; it was an integral part of local culture and sustenance for many families like theirs. Donald McLeish's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty of traditional dress worn by these women and the importance of preserving cultural heritage through visual storytelling. This print from "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler, provides us with valuable insight into life during 1930s Scotland while honoring those who played vital roles within their communities. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how much has changed over time but
