EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard image captures the essence of childhood labor during the Edwardian era in London, circa 1905. The young flower girl, clad in a pristine white apron and a vibrant red neckerchief, sells bunches of fragrant violets to passersby on the bustling streets. Her short skirt, a common fashion for girls of her age during this time, adds a touch of innocence to her working attire. The scene presents a poignant contrast between the beauty of the flowers she offers and the gritty reality of urban life. The flower girl's determined expression and the simple setting convey the resilience and resourcefulness of children in the working class during this period. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical context of childhood labor and the unique costumes and traditions of the Edwardian era.
