EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the early 20th century. Created by Hely Smith and featured in Penroses Pictorial Annual 1908-1909, this artwork captures the essence of a bustling street market. The merchant stands proudly amidst a vibrant array of cloth and clothes, his colorful robes catching the eye of passersby. Dressed in an Edwardian-style cloak and headdress, the merchant exudes an air of authority and expertise in his trade. With headscarf elegantly tied, he presents himself as a skilled seller with an extensive collection of garments on display. The painting beautifully portrays both the artistry and commerce involved in this era's clothing industry. The location depicted seems to be a busy lane or avenue where customers flock to explore various fabrics and styles. It evokes images of lively conversations between buyers and sellers negotiating prices for their desired items. This snapshot from history offers us insight into not only fashion trends but also the social dynamics surrounding trade during that time. Hely Smith's artistic prowess shines through in this composition, capturing every intricate detail with precision. Collaborating with AW Penrose as editor and William Gamble as publisher further enhances its significance within the graphic arts community. This print serves as a testament to Hely Augustus Morton Smith's talent while providing viewers with a glimpse into early 20th-century markets filled with color, culture, and commerce.
