1877 Drunk Excitement Haymarket Lower Markets Passed Petersburg Sale Things
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of Haymarket in St. Petersburg back in 1877. The market is alive with activity, as vendors sell their wares and eager shoppers peruse the goods on offer. Despite its name, there is notably no hay for sale at this market - a humorous detail that adds to the charm of the scene.
In the foreground, a lady can be seen lower right, seemingly overwhelmed by the excitement of it all. While it's possible she has simply fainted from sheer joy at the abundance of goods available, it's more likely that she has indulged a bit too much in some liquid refreshment.
The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the trade and commerce of historical Russia, showcasing a time when markets like Haymarket were vital hubs for buying and selling essential goods. The architecture and clothing styles depicted in the photograph further transport us back to this bygone era.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of St. Petersburg's vibrant marketplace. It serves as a reminder of how markets have long been central to communities around the world, offering not just products for sale but also opportunities for social interaction and cultural exchange.
