1804 Brazier Cries Selling Trades Spiced
EDITORS COMMENTS
Hot Apples / London Cries: Selling Spiced Apples in Winter, 1804 This evocative image, captured in 1804, showcases the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of a winter street scene in London during the early 19th century. The focus of the photograph is on a street vendor, known as a 'cryer,' selling hot, spiced apples from a brazier. The crisp air of winter is palpable as the vendor calls out to potential customers, inviting them to partake in the delicious warmth of his wares. The vendor's cart is adorned with a colorful array of apples, some whole and some already cooked and coated in a sweet, spiced glaze. The aroma of the apples wafts through the air, drawing in passersby and beckoning them to indulge in a taste of winter comfort. The vendor's expression is one of warmth and generosity, as he invites the viewer to share in the joy of this simple, yet delightful, pleasure. The background of the photograph reveals the hustle and bustle of London life, with other vendors and tradespeople going about their business. The cobblestone streets are slick with rain or snow, and the buildings loom large and imposing against the gray winter sky. Despite the harshness of the winter weather, the image exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as people come together to share in the simple pleasure of a hot, spiced apple. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's street trade and the importance of food as a source of comfort and connection. The image is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the human spirit, as people continue to gather around the warmth of a brazier, sharing stories and laughter, even in the harshest of winter conditions.
