EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1873 captures a scene straight out of the bustling streets of Victorian-era London. A woman can be seen selling small bunches of flowers to passers-by as they drive past in their horse-drawn hansom cabs. The image is filled with movement and energy, as the woman eagerly offers her posies to potential customers.
The woman herself is dressed in traditional attire of the time, with a long skirt and apron, her hair neatly pulled back under a bonnet. She exudes an air of determination and resilience as she works tirelessly to make sales on the busy street corner.
In the background, we see other pedestrians going about their daily business, adding to the lively atmosphere of this snapshot in time. The architecture of the buildings lining the street further immerses us in this bygone era.
This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when commerce was conducted face-to-face on city streets. It also highlights the important role that women played in supporting themselves and their families through entrepreneurial endeavors such as selling flowers.
Overall, this image is not just a historical artifact but a glimpse into a world where hard work and perseverance were essential for survival.
