EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in London around 1870, presents a Costermonger or barrow boy in full Victorian regalia. Dressed in a smart waistcoat, short jacket, breeches, stockings, and a red muffler around his neck, he wears a peaked cap adorned with a red tassel and blinking lights to attract customers. The donkey cart behind him, adorned with carrots and cabbages, is a testament to the wares he shouts out to passersby. The Costermonger class emerged in the 18th century as a distinct group of urban working men who sold fruits, vegetables, and other goods from their barrows. They were an integral part of the urban landscape and were often associated with the working-class communities of London. The use of donkey carts was a common and practical way to transport their goods from the markets to the streets. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the sights, sounds, and smells of Victorian London. The Costermonger's bellowing shouts, the donkey's braying, and the fresh produce on display would have been a familiar sight and sound to Londoners of the time. The use of a donkey cart, rather than a motorized vehicle, adds to the historical authenticity of the image. The Costermonger's attire, with its combination of practicality and style, reflects the class distinctions of the time. The red muffler and peaked cap were not only functional, but also served to distinguish the Costermonger from other working-class men. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and diversity of London's working-class communities and the important role they played in the city's social and economic fabric.
