EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the vibrant energy of a London street scene from circa 1920. The image showcases a bustling high street, where the distinct smells of meat and the sound of scissors clipping hair fill the air. On the left side of the frame, we find the London Central Meat Company Limited, with their butchers donning white aprons and butcher's overalls, expertly handling the fresh cuts of meat. The company's name is proudly displayed on the sign above, with a large pole indicating the quality of their products. On the right side of the street, C. Crowe Ladies and Gents Hairdresser and Tobacconist can be seen. The barbershop is a hive of activity, with gentlemen taking a seat in the barber chairs, waiting for their turn to be shaved and styled. The barber, dressed in a striped apron, skillfully works on a customer's hair, while another attendant behind the counter tends to the tobacco products. Ladies, too, are catered to, as evidenced by the "Ladies" sign hanging above the entrance. The hairdresser's chair and mirror suggest that women receive the same level of care and attention as their male counterparts. The overall scene is one of community and commerce, with the butchers and hairdressers serving their customers in this lively London street. The black-and-white photograph beautifully captures the essence of the era, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of Londoners during this time.
