EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1898, captured in the bustling streets of London, a heated argument between two men has drawn a crowd. At the heart of the commotion stands a defenceless sandwich board man, advertising the latest prices of boots from Biggar and Biggar. The enraged man, with clenched fists and a furious expression, seems ready to land a punch on the unsuspecting advertiser. The humorous caption "Put 'em up!" adds an element of surprise and amusement to the scene. The old man, seemingly unfazed by the impending attack, adopts a boxing stance, as if inviting the enraged Londoner to try his best. The crowd around them watches with a mix of curiosity and amusement, some even snapping photographs to capture the moment. The price increase of boots from Biggar and Biggar has evidently struck a nerve with this particular Londoner, pushing him to the brink of anger. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the raw emotions and reactions of people during a time when the cost of everyday items was a matter of great concern. Despite the tension in the scene, the photograph remains a testament to the resilience and humour of the people of London. The sandwich board man, despite being in a vulnerable position, maintains a calm and defiant demeanour, while the enraged man's fury is palpable. This historical moment serves as a reminder of the human spirit and the ability to find humour even in the most unexpected situations.
