EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment in Time: The Cries of London - A Woman Fills Her Apron with Fresh Peas (1804) This evocative image captures a moment in the bustling streets of 19th-century London, as a young woman engages in a common yet essential daily transaction. The year is 1804, and the scene unfolds on the cobblestones of the city, where the cacophony of the Cries of London reverberates through the air. The Cries were the street vendors who sold their wares from carts or barrows, and their distinctive calls could be heard throughout the city, announcing the arrival of fresh produce, meats, and other essential goods. In this photograph, a woman, dressed in a simple yet practical apron, reaches out to fill it with the green and young hastings - or peas - offered by a street vendor. The vendor, a man in a worn hat and apron, leans over his cart, displaying the freshly picked peas for sale. The woman's expression is one of concentration and satisfaction, as she carefully selects the peas she intends to purchase. The cart behind her is filled with an array of vegetables, testifying to the rich variety of produce available in the city. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of street trade in London's past. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of the city's inhabitants, who relied on the Cries for their sustenance and nourishment. The image also speaks to the enduring appeal of fresh, seasonal produce and the simple pleasure of selecting the best offerings from a trusted vendor. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that captures the essence of London's vibrant and diverse food culture. It invites us to reflect on the ways in which our relationship to food and the people who grow, produce, and sell it has evolved over time.
