EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Sofia, Bulgaria in the year 1923. The image showcases two peanut and scent pedlars immersed in their daily street trading activities. Dressed in traditional Bulgarian attire, the female pedlar sits gracefully on a stool while her male counterpart stands beside her, both engaging with potential customers passing by. The scene exudes an air of authenticity as these hardworking individuals go about their occupation. With baskets filled with peanuts and bottles of perfume at their feet, they skillfully entice passersby with their wares. Their expressions reveal a sense of determination mixed with warmth, inviting viewers to imagine the conversations taking place between them and prospective buyers. The photograph not only captures the essence of street trading in early 20th century Bulgaria but also offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of Sofia's bustling streets during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within this Balkan country. Preserved through time, this monochrome portrait allows us to appreciate the dedication and resilience displayed by these men and women who made a living through trade on Sofia's lanes and avenues nearly a century ago. Thanks to JA Hammerton's meticulous editing work for Countries of the World Volume VI, we are fortunate enough to witness this snapshot from history today courtesy of The Fleetway House in London.
