EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Penny pedlar trading on a street" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century London. The image showcases a hardworking man, known as a penny pedlar, engaging in trade amidst the vibrant colors and energy of the city. The scene depicts a moment of commerce and employment, highlighting the importance of small-scale entrepreneurship during this era. The penny pedlar is seen surrounded by his goods, showcasing an array of colorful items that catch the eye. His determination and dedication are evident as he engages with potential customers passing by. In the background, we see a police officer overseeing the busy street, ensuring order and safety for all. This juxtaposition between trade and authority reflects both the freedom to conduct business and the need for regulation within society. The lithograph illustration was originally featured in Bubbles magazine edited by Dr Barnardo in 1902. It serves as a reminder of how children's literature often depicted scenes from everyday life to educate young readers about various aspects of society. This print not only captures a snapshot of British history but also celebrates human resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. It reminds us that even amidst bustling streets filled with traffic policemen like those shown here, individuals were able to carve out their own livelihoods through hard work and ingenuity.
