EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Flower Stall 1939: A lady sells flowers to a gentleman in a London road,' is a captivating snapshot of history. The image, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Piccadilly in London during the late 1930s. The photograph showcases the vibrant trade of selling flowers on the streets of Piccadilly, a tradition that dates back centuries. The lady, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress and apron, expertly arranges a bouquet of fresh flowers on a wooden stall. Her determined expression and the gentlemen's attentive demeanor suggest a transaction about to take place. The background of the photograph reveals the hustle and bustle of the busy London road. A red double-decker bus passes by, and a circus poster advertising 'The Greatest Show on Earth' can be seen on a nearby wall. The presence of the circus poster adds an intriguing layer to the image, hinting at the excitement and wonder of the time. The image also showcases the elegance and charm of the era. The gentleman, dressed in a sharp suit and hat, holds a white swan-shaped flower holder, adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. The lady's delicate hands, the intricately designed flower stall, and the vintage signage in the background all contribute to the historical significance of the photograph. 'Flower Stall 1939' is not only a beautiful representation of the past but also a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that have endured through the test of time. The photograph invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of the moment, as well as the rich history of London's streets.
