EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Titled "An Old Clothes Shop, Seven Dials" it captures a vivid street scene from 1877, showcasing the daily life and commerce of this era. The image transports us to a time when traditional dress was still prevalent, as we see various dresses hanging outside the shop, enticing potential buyers passing by. A young boy stands in front of the store, perhaps assisting his family in their trade or simply observing the busy activity around him. A tradeswoman can be seen inside the shop, attending to her customers with expertise and professionalism. Her presence adds an intriguing layer to this snapshot of history, challenging gender norms and highlighting women's involvement in business during that period. The location itself holds historical significance - St Giles' Lumber Court in Seven Dials was known for its vibrant market atmosphere and diverse range of shops. The scene depicted here is reminiscent of Charles Dickens' novels; it exudes a Dickensian charm that immerses viewers into an authentic portrayal of Victorian London. Through this remarkable photograph by John Thomson, we are given a glimpse into not only a specific moment but also an entire world that existed over a century ago. It serves as both a visual testament to our shared past and an invitation to explore further into the rich tapestry of history.
