EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection, titled "Ploughing Carriage Cotton Spinning Selling Sweets" takes us back in time to California in 1869. The albumen silver print, captured using a glass negative, showcases an intriguing scene filled with diverse activities and bustling energy. In the foreground, we see a group of farmers diligently ploughing their fields, their horses pulling the carriage with remarkable strength. This image offers a glimpse into the arduous labor required for agriculture during that era. Moving towards the background, our attention is drawn to cotton spinning machines operated by skilled workers. Their nimble fingers expertly manipulate raw cotton into fine threads - a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The composition also features another fascinating element: street vendors selling sweets to passersby. Dressed in traditional attire, these merchants add vibrant pops of color against the backdrop of rustic buildings and dusty roads. Attributed to John Thomson - a renowned British photographer hailing from Edinburgh - this photograph captures both rural life and urban commerce seamlessly merged together. Thomson's keen eye for detail shines through as he skillfully documents this snapshot of history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image measuring 10 x 148 cm, it transports us back in time over 150 years ago when society was rapidly evolving amidst industrialization and agricultural advancements. It serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for progress.
