EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. Taken at the Caledonian Market, it captures a vibrant scene filled with poultry merchants and their lively trade. The image showcases a multitude of people, both men and women, engrossed in buying and selling various types of birds. The market stall is adorned with an array of baskets containing ducks and other poultry, creating a picturesque display against the backdrop of city life. A crowd has gathered around the stall, eager customers examining their options before making their purchases. Amongst them stands a confident woman, her presence commanding attention as she navigates through the chaos. The monochrome tones add depth to this snapshot from history, emphasizing its timeless appeal. It is evident that this photograph was taken during a time when markets were not just places for commerce but also social hubs where people from all walks of life converged. As we study this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator but featured in Arthur St John Adcock's publication "Wonderful London" we are reminded of how images can transport us across time and space. This print serves as a testament to the rich heritage embedded within our cities' markets while offering glimpses into daily life nearly a century ago.
