Aut-omata aut nullus: The Mechanization of Street Traders in 1887 (Mary Evans Prints Online) In the heart of the bustling streets of the late 1800s, the tradition of newsboys hawking papers and flower girls selling blooms had long been a cherished part of urban life. However, as the era of automation began to take hold, these time-honored trades were about to face an unexpected challenge. This photograph from 1887, entitled "Aut-omata aut nullus" (Automata, and no one else), showcases an intriguing innovation designed to replace newsboys and flower girls. Erected by the Anti-street Brawling Association, these automata were intended to maintain order and eliminate the potential for violent altercations between rival traders. The automata were mechanical machines, designed to mimic the actions of newsboys and flower girls. Newsboys would insert a coin into the machine, and in return, it would dispense a newspaper. Similarly, flower girls operated by depositing a coin into a slot, which would then release a bouquet. As the 1880s came to a close, the introduction of these machines marked a significant shift in the way everyday transactions were carried out. While the machines were initially met with curiosity and fascination, they ultimately posed a threat to the livelihoods of the newsboys and flower girls. The photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as the tide began to turn towards automation and the displacement of human labor. The scene is a poignant reminder of the impact of technological advancements on traditional trades and the lives of those who depended on them.
