EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene straight out of 1804 London, showcasing three women street traders selling fresh mackerel to a discerning gentleman customer. The vibrant energy of the bustling street trade is palpable as the women proudly display their catch, calling out their "cries" to attract potential buyers.
The attention to detail in this historical snapshot is truly remarkable - from the intricate patterns on the women's clothing to the meticulous arrangement of the fish for sale. The gentleman customer can be seen carefully inspecting the freshness of the mackerel, ensuring that he gets only the best quality produce for his meal.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where street trading was not just a means of survival, but also a vibrant and essential part of daily life in London. The sense of community and camaraderie among these traders is evident, highlighting their resilience and resourcefulness in navigating the challenges of urban living.
Mary Evans Picture Library has once again captured a momentous piece of history with this stunning print, reminding us of the rich tapestry of stories woven into every corner of our city streets. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in centuries past, food has always been at the heart of human connection and commerce.
