1887 Bunches Lavender Seller Selling Trades
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Lavender Seller, 1887 This evocative photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, as a young girl sells bunches of fragrant lavender on a bustling street. Dressed in the modest attire of the late 19th century, the girl wears a white blouse and a dark apron, her chestnut hair pulled back into a neat bun. She cradles a large wicker basket in her arms, overflowing with freshly picked lavender, its vibrant purple hues a stark contrast against the earthy brown of the basket. The scene is set in the heart of a busy trading district, with the sounds of horse-drawn carriages and the chatter of passersby filling the air. The cobblestone street is lined with shops and market stalls, their wares spilling out onto the pavement. The girl's face is focused and determined, her eyes fixed on the potential customers as they make their way along the street. The photograph, taken in 1887, offers a glimpse into the world of rural trades and the importance of agriculture in the daily lives of people during this period. The sale of lavender, a popular herb used for its calming properties, would have been a common sight in the countryside, as farmers and villagers would sell their produce at local markets and fairs. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the time, as they adapted to the changing seasons and the demands of their communities. The girl's unwavering dedication to her trade, her radiant smile, and the allure of the fragrant lavender all come together to create a timeless moment frozen in history.
