EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of some rarer vegetables, beautifully captured by an English photographer in the 20th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "The Practical Fruiterer and Florist" edited by W. B. Shearn in 1935. In this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a quaint shop filled with vibrant produce and fragrant flowers. The fruiterer and florist's expertise is evident as they proudly display these unique vegetables that were considered rare at the time. Amongst the assortment, we can spot seakale, sweet corn, aubergine (also known as eggplant), kohl rabi, scorzonera, celeriac, and salsify. These lesser-known gems add an air of mystery to the scene while showcasing nature's diverse bounty. The image captures not only the historical significance but also highlights early 20th-century retail practices. It serves as a reminder of how our relationship with food has evolved over time. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it sparks curiosity about these forgotten vegetables and their place in culinary history. This visual treasure invites us to appreciate both artistry and horticultural wonders that have stood the test of time.
