EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a shocking scene from history - a gentleman offering his wife for sale in Smithfield Market, London in 1797. The image depicts prospective purchasers inspecting the woman as if she were a mere piece of livestock, highlighting the dehumanizing practice of selling wives during this time period. The historical significance of this photograph is both fascinating and disturbing, shedding light on the patriarchal society and lack of rights women faced in the past. It serves as a stark reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and human rights. The husband's willingness to sell his wife like property speaks volumes about societal norms and attitudes towards women at that time. The market setting adds an extra layer of irony, as if she were just another commodity up for grabs. As viewers gaze upon this thought-provoking image, they are transported back to a different era where such practices were not only accepted but commonplace. It serves as a powerful reminder of the progress we have made since then, while also prompting us to reflect on how much further we still have to go in terms of achieving true equality for all individuals.
