EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the vibrant scene of flower sellers at Oxford Circus in Central London. The bustling area, located at the intersection of Regent Street and Oxford Street, was a popular destination for shoppers and tourists alike. In this image, we see several women selling fresh blooms from their carts, their colorful displays adding a splash of beauty and charm to the urban landscape. The backdrop of the photograph is the impressive façade of Peter Robinson, a well-known department store of the time. The Corinthian pilasters, dentils, and sunblinds of the building are adorned with intricate detail, reflecting the grandeur and elegance of the Edwardian era. The clock tower atop the building can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of time and place. The women in the photograph, including Phebe Smyth, Josephene Sykes, and others, are dressed in modest Edwardian attire, their faces expressing a mix of determination and warmth as they engage with customers. The pavement is filled with the sounds of haggling and laughter, while the road beyond is filled with the sounds of horse-drawn carriages and the hum of traffic. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture that continues to make Central London a beloved destination for visitors from around the world.
