EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in the heart of Brighton's bustling market scene in 1899, captures a moment of respite and camaraderie among the city's traders. In the foreground, a costermonger, his barrow laden with an array of fresh fruits, pauses in his sales pitch to enjoy a steaming cup of hot tea. The source of this welcome refreshment is none other than his fellow trader, whose own barrow is visible behind him, filled with teapots and cups. The vibrant colors of the fruits and the rich textures of the traders' clothing and the wooden barrows add depth and texture to this snapshot of a bygone era. The cobblestone streets of Brighton's market are teeming with activity, yet this moment of stillness and connection between the two traders stands out, a testament to the community and camaraderie that thrived among the city's traders. The costermongers played a vital role in the daily life of Brighton, providing fresh produce to the city's residents and visitors. Their lively banter and colorful displays added to the lively atmosphere of the market, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily routines and relationships that shaped the market scene of Brighton over a century ago.
