In the bustling streets of Cartagena, Bolivar Department, a vibrant sight awaits. Colourful Palenqueras stand proudly, their baskets overflowing with an array of luscious fruits. The scent of ripe mangoes and juicy pineapples fills the air as these fruit sellers captivate passersby with their infectious energy. Traveling across time to Venice, Italy in the 19th century, we witness a historical scene come to life through a digital reproduction. A Fruit Vendor stands amidst the picturesque canals and ornate architecture, offering his fresh produce to locals and tourists alike. This artwork serves as a reminder of Venice's rich cultural heritage. Venturing further east to Vietnam's Mekong Delta, specifically Can Tho's Cai Rang Floating Market, we encounter yet another fascinating fruit-selling spectacle. Here, vendors navigate colorful boats filled with tantalizing tropical fruits such as dragonfruit and rambutan. Amidst this lively market atmosphere, buyers engage in spirited negotiations while enjoying the unique experience of shopping on water. Returning once again to Cartagena's walls in Bolivar Department is where our attention is drawn next - Colorful Palenqueras selling fruits against a backdrop steeped in history and culture. These resilient women embody tradition as they carry on the legacy of their ancestors who once roamed these very streets centuries ago. A glimpse into New York City's past takes us back to 1943 at Fulton Fish Market where a push cart fruit vendor plies his trade amidst crates brimming with apples. Captured by Gordon Parks' lens during World War II era America; this photograph encapsulates both resilience and resourcefulness during challenging times. Journeying northwards towards Hamburg Germany brings us face-to-face with an apple-laden basket carried by a diligent Fruit Seller from the 19th century. Adorned in starched fichu on her bonnet and multiple petticoats, she epitomizes the hardworking spirit of a bygone era.
