EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when a man is seen selling shoestrings on the street for just a penny a pair. The image, titled "Penny for Shoestrings," dates back to 1804 and provides a glimpse into the world of street trade during that era.
The man in the photo appears focused and determined as he showcases his merchandise to potential customers passing by. His simple yet essential product - shoestrings - would have been in high demand at a time when shoes were an important part of everyday attire.
The scene depicted in this photograph not only highlights the humble nature of this particular trade but also serves as a reminder of the value placed on even the smallest items in historical times. It is fascinating to think about how something as mundane as shoe strings played a crucial role in people's lives back then.
As we admire this piece from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back to a time when every penny counted and street vendors like this man worked hard to make ends meet. This image truly encapsulates the essence of history, trade, and everyday life in 19th-century England.
