EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving by Ebenezer Landells captures a scene from the past known as "The Strawberry Trade - pottling." In this intricate print, we see women diligently pottling strawberries in small basket-like containers called pottles. These hardworking women hailed from Middlesex and Surrey, traveling on foot to the bustling markets of London to sell their goods.
According to an article in the ILN accompanying this picture, these dedicated women would journey all the way from Shropshire and Wales each summer to partake in this laborious task. They would make two round trips covering distances of up to 30 miles a day, all for a meager wage of 8 shillings.
The image beautifully portrays the essence of rural life and trade during that era, showcasing the determination and resilience of these strawberry sellers. The attention to detail in Landells' engraving brings this historical moment vividly back to life, allowing us a glimpse into the import role these women played in supplying fresh produce to London's markets.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the often-overlooked contributions made by working-class individuals throughout history. It is a testament to their strength and perseverance in the face of challenging circumstances.
