EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when pineapples were considered a rare and exotic fruit in Britain. The image shows a trader selling pineapples from a barrow on the streets, offering slices for just a penny each. This scene provides a glimpse into the working class life of the 1840s, where individuals like this trader would hustle to make ends meet by selling goods that were seen as luxurious and out of reach for many.
The sight of pineapples being sold by slice serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of food accessibility and availability. In today's world, it is hard to imagine such an extravagant fruit being sold so cheaply on the streets. This photograph not only documents a historical moment but also highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who worked tirelessly to make ends meet.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles and triumphs of street traders trying to earn their living. It is a testament to human resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.
