Apron Baker Baking Balancing Bell Cries Crying Muffin Muffins Ringing Rings Seller Shouting Tray Carying Crumpets
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a London street cryer, also known as a costermonger, selling muffins and crumpets on the snow-covered pavement of Drury Lane in 1908. The muffin man, dressed in a green apron and wearing a large, bell-adorned hat, skillfully balances a tray of freshly baked goods on his head while ringing a bell and calling out to potential customers with an infectious enthusiasm. The classic nursery rhyme "Do you know the muffin man?" comes to mind as we imagine the lively exchange between the seller and the passersby. This historical image offers a glimpse into the rich tradition of street trading in London, a practice that has been a part of the city's cultural fabric for centuries. The muffin man's dedication to his trade, evident in his determined expression and the steam rising from the freshly baked muffins, adds to the charm and allure of this iconic London scene.
