EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the tender moment between a Coster Cockney couple on a park bench at Hampstead Heath in the 1890s. The Costers, also known as Costermongers or Mongers, were itinerant fruit and vegetable traders who were a common sight on the streets of London during this era. Dressed in their traditional attire, the man wears a flat cap, waistcoat, and breeches, while the woman dons a shawl and an apron. Both are holding cigars, a popular pastime among the working-class Londoners of the time. Their hearts are fully engaged in each other, with the woman resting her head on the man's shoulder as they share a passionate embrace. The tranquil setting of the park bench amidst the lush greenery of Hampstead Heath adds to the romantic atmosphere. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the love and connection that existed between the Costers, who were often portrayed in a negative light by the upper classes. Despite their challenging lives as tradespeople, the Costers found joy and comfort in their relationships, as evidenced by this heartfelt scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse culture that once thrived in the East End of London and the surrounding areas. It invites us to reflect on the enduring power of love and the importance of cherishing the moments that bring us closer to those we hold dear.
