Victorian Scrap -- Orange Seller Description: This late 19th century photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a determined and hardworking woman selling oranges on the bustling streets of Victorian England. The image, titled "Victorian Scrap -- Orange Seller," captures the essence of the era's grit and resilience, as the woman skillfully calls out to potential customers, showcasing her fresh produce with pride. The woman, dressed in a traditional Victorian outfit, dons a lace bonnet adorned with intricate floral designs, adding a touch of elegance to her humble trade. Her lacy collar and long, flowing sleeves are reminiscent of the intricate detailing that characterized women's fashion during this period. The vibrant colors of her attire contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the urban landscape, drawing the viewer's attention to her and her wares. Oranges, a luxury item during the Victorian era, are displayed in a woven basket, their bright orange hue a stark contrast against the worn wooden cart and the grayish-brown cobblestones of the street. The woman's expression is one of determination and focus, as she expertly balances the basket on her head and calls out to passersby, inviting them to purchase her fresh produce. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Victorian women, highlighting their strength and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and culture that shaped the Victorian era, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical photography.
