Old Leadenhall Market: A Gentleman Purchases a Dog (circa 1906) This photograph, taken circa 1906, captures a moment in time at Old Leadenhall Market in London. The market, established in the 14th century, has long been a bustling hub of activity, where merchants and traders have come together to buy and sell their wares. At the heart of the scene, a smartly dressed gentleman can be seen engaging in a transaction with a dog seller. The gentleman, with a confident air and impeccable attire, reaches into the cage to stroke the dog's head, while the seller looks on approvingly. The exchange of money is not visible, but the body language and expressions of both parties suggest that the deal is about to be completed. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and culture of Old Leadenhall Market. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where transactions were conducted face-to-face and deals were sealed with a handshake. The use of cages to display the dogs adds to the authenticity of the scene, highlighting the importance of animals in daily life during this period. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of Old Leadenhall Market. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people and animals that have passed through the market over the centuries, and to appreciate the enduring charm of this historic London landmark.
