EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Caledonian Market in London, during the years 1926-1927. In this image, we see a group of women carefully selecting bunches of mistletoe, symbolizing the British tradition of kissing under this enchanting plant during Christmas festivities. The scene exudes a sense of romance and anticipation as these women flirtatiously choose their mistletoe bundles. They are dressed elegantly in coats and cloche hats, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. The market is bustling with activity, filled with crates and traders showcasing their goods. As winter embraces the city, this charming tradition brings warmth to people's hearts amidst the cold season. The photograph beautifully depicts how nature intertwines with human customs and religious celebrations. Taken from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, this photogravure print transports us back to an earlier time when shopping at local markets was an integral part of daily life. With its monochrome palette capturing every detail, from the shoppers' expressions to the texture of mistletoe leaves, this image offers a glimpse into early 20th-century England. It serves as a reminder that traditions evolve over time but continue to hold significance for communities across generations.
