EDITORS COMMENTS
- Old Street Cries, 20th century (Mary Evans Picture Library/Peter & Dawn Cope Collection) This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in London's history, as a determined and smiling woman sells bunches of sweet-scented lavender from her basket on the bustling Old Street. Dressed in an apron and seated on a rickety chair, she calls out to passersby in a tradition known as "street cries," a common practice in the early 20th century. Her voice joins the symphony of other street vendors, each with their unique cries, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The woman's expression radiates warmth and optimism, as if believing that someone, anyone, will soon buy her wares. The rich, earthy tones of the lavender bunches contrast beautifully with the worn wooden chair and the sandy street, adding to the image's timeless charm. In the background, a rickshaw sedan waits patiently, a reminder of the transportation options available to those who could afford them. This photograph, titled "Who will buy my sweet blooming lavender?" is a poignant reminder of the simple trades that once thrived on the streets of London. It invites us to pause and appreciate the resilience and resourcefulness of the vendors, who turned to the streets to sell their wares and make a living. The image is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the power of a single question that continues to echo through the streets of London's rich history.
