EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling fruit auctions at Covent Garden in 1900 with this print by Mary Evans. The interior of the auction house is a hive of activity, with crates of fresh produce stacked high and buyers eagerly inspecting the goods on offer. The glass ceiling allows natural light to flood into the building, illuminating the scene below. The atmosphere is electric as sellers call out their prices and buyers haggle for the best deals. The smell of ripe fruit fills the air, adding to the sensory experience of being immersed in this vibrant marketplace. This image captures a moment in history when Covent Garden was at the heart of London's wholesale trade industry. It serves as a reminder of a time when markets were bustling hubs of commerce, where goods from all over the world were bought and sold. Mary Evans has perfectly captured the energy and excitement of this busy auction, transporting us back to a bygone era. This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into London's past, offering us a glimpse into what life was like in 1900s Covent Garden.
