EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Market Reports Series - Miniature Fish for Breakfast," transports us back in time to the early 1900s, where a simple breakfast scene unfolds in a quaint English kitchen. The image, part of the Market Reports illustrated postcard series from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the moment of surprise and dismay as a gentleman discovers the diminutive size of his breakfast kipper. The fish, barely larger than a thumb, lies on a small plate, accompanied by a cup of coffee, a slice of bread, and a fried egg. The serving girl, dressed in a white apron and cap, looks on in horror at the gentleman's reaction. Her expression conveys a mixture of embarrassment and concern, as if she fears the consequences of this unfortunate mishap. The gentleman, with a look of disbelief and annoyance, examines the fish through the lens of a magnifying glass, perhaps considering whether to send it back or make do with this tiny morsel. The kitchen, adorned with a checkered tile floor, a wooden table, and various kitchen utensils, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The window, with its view of a snowy garden, casts a warm, natural light on the room. The title card at the bottom of the photograph, "There was a poor supply this morning," hints at the possible cause of the small fish. Perhaps the fishmonger had run out of larger specimens, or there were issues with the fish stocks. Regardless, this incident seems to have disrupted the routine of the household, and the consequences of this minor mishap are left to our imagination. This photograph, with its intriguing story and charming composition, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the past and invites us to ponder the unexpected challenges that can arise during the most ordinary of activities.
