1863 Oranges Seller Selling Sells Trades 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of bustling urban life in 19th century London, as a young woman skillfully sells oranges from her basket on a crowded street. Dressed in the simple yet practical attire of the time, she engages with potential customers with a warm and inviting smile. The vibrant oranges, piled high in her woven basket, add a burst of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The year was 1863, a time when street trading was a common sight in the bustling metropolis. This young woman, with her determined expression and entrepreneurial spirit, embodies the resilience and resourcefulness of London's working class. The cobblestone street, lined with buildings that bear the marks of time, speaks to the rich history of the city. The photograph, taken by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when commerce was conducted on a more personal level. The woman's connection with her customers, the exchange of goods and currency, and the lively energy of the street all come together to create a compelling tableau of urban life during the Victorian era. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a moment in time, and to preserve it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
