EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, dated 1919, captures a playful exchange between a young woman and a greengrocer at his quirky shop. The pretty lady, dressed in fashionable attire and adorned with a stylish hat and bow, approaches the counter with a curious expression. She inquires, "Have you anything in the shape of a cucumber?" The greengrocer, with a mischievous grin, replies, "Yes Miss, a banana - How will that suit?" The large, shapely fruit sits prominently on the counter, adding to the amusing interaction. The greengrocer's cheeky reply not only showcases his sense of humor but also his creativity and ability to think on his feet. This image is a delightful reminder of the lighthearted exchanges that once took place in local shops and the unique personalities of the people who ran them. The photograph's timeless quality and the intriguing story it tells make it a captivating addition to any collection of vintage images.
