EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the bustling streets of London in 1804, where a woman is seen selling hot cross buns from a basket. The scene is filled with hungry children eagerly surrounding her, their eyes fixed on the delicious treats she has to offer.
The image captures a moment in history when street trades were a common sight, and vendors would cry out their goods to attract customers. In this case, the woman's cries of "Hot X Bns" (Hot Cross Buns) draw in the attention of passersby, especially the young ones who are eager for a taste of these traditional Easter cakes.
The composition of the photograph is striking, with the woman at its center surrounded by a sea of curious faces and outstretched hands reaching for her wares. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when food was sold directly on the streets, creating an atmosphere that was both lively and communal.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of historical trade practices but also a glimpse into everyday life in London during the early 19th century. It evokes nostalgia for a bygone era while highlighting the enduring appeal of simple pleasures like hot cross buns.
