Tabriz, Iran - Fruit Seller
A Beautiful early photographic picture postcard showing a Fruit Seller. Rather bizarrely there is a partial view of a chap on a ladder emerging into the top-right hand corner of the shot - what he is doing and why he was there (possiby he was mending the roof?!) is sadly lost to the sands of time... Date: 1903

EDITORS COMMENTS
This early photographic print, hailing from the enchanting city of Tabriz, Iran, in the year 1903, showcases the bustling atmosphere of a local fruit market. At the heart of the scene, a dedicated fruit seller meticulously arranges an array of fresh produce on his stall, surrounded by an assortment of dried fruits and nuts. The vibrant colors of the fruits, including ripe figs, succulent dates, and plump raisins, contrast beautifully against the earthy tones of the market setting. The seller, dressed in traditional Persian attire, dons a distinctive headwear that adds to the authenticity of the scene. The intricate patterns and rich hues of his garments reflect the cultural heritage and pride of the region. Intriguingly, a partial figure of a man can be seen emerging from the top-right corner of the photograph. He appears to be on a ladder, but the reason for his presence remains a mystery. Was he perhaps mending the roof of the market or simply observing the bustling trade below? The intricate details of the scene, from the strings of dried fruits hanging overhead to the scales used to weigh the produce, transport us back in time to the bustling markets of Tabriz, a city renowned for its rich history and vibrant trade. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the wonders of Iran's cultural heritage.
