Barrow Coals Selling Trades


EDITORS COMMENTS
Selling Small Coals, Circa 1870 This evocative image captures the essence of winter in Victorian England, as a coal merchant goes about his daily business in the frost-kissed streets. The photograph, taken circa 1870, depicts a man selling small bags of coal from a barrow in a snow-covered street. The coal merchant wears a heavy overcoat and a woolen cap, shielding himself from the biting cold as he engages with potential customers. The scene is reminiscent of the bustling trade that once thrived in the streets of Victorian cities. Coal was an essential commodity, and its sale was a vital part of the urban economy. The small bags of coal, meticulously arranged on the barrow, would have been in high demand during the harsh winter months. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the working class during this period. The coal merchant's barrow, pulled by a horse, would have been a common sight on the streets of Victorian cities. The horse, bundled up against the cold, seems to understand the importance of its role in the daily routine. The snow-covered rooftops and icy streets add to the atmospheric quality of the image, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of people during harsh winters, and the importance of the coal trade in providing warmth and comfort to homes and families. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record of a time when the sale of small coals from a barrow in the winter streets was a daily occurrence. It offers a unique perspective on the past, and is a testament to the rich history of trade and commerce during the Victorian era.
