EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Market Scene, 1880-1888" takes us back in time to a bustling butcher shop. The reddish brown stereograph photograph captures the essence of this scene, which appears to be meticulously staged in a photography studio. In the foreground, two African-American men steal the spotlight as they stand proudly in front of a display of meat. The man on the left exudes elegance with his khaki attire and stylish hat with an up-turned rear brim. He holds a wicker basket, ready to hand it over to the man standing beside him. The central figure is dressed entirely in white - from his pants and long-sleeved shirt covered by a white apron, down to his matching hat. With one hand outstretched towards the basket, he eagerly awaits its contents. Behind them lies an array of delectable cuts of meat showcased on a shelf supported by three rafters. Ribs hang gracefully alongside an upended chicken while other cuts like flank and leg are neatly displayed nearby. Two butchers blocks complete this authentic market setting. Printed on either side of the image are details that transport us directly to Charleston: "F. A NOWELL / No. 263 KING STREET" adorns the left side while "Charleston & Vicinity" graces the right. This remarkable piece by Frank A Nowell offers not only a glimpse into history but also invites us to appreciate both its artistic composition and cultural significance within Charleston's vibrant past.
