This exquisite engraving by Arthur Boyd Houghton takes us back to a bygone era when market traders worked diligently at the break of dawn. The scene is alive with activity as men and women skillfully shell peas, their hands moving swiftly to complete their task. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on the print brings life and authenticity to this snapshot of daily life in Covent Garden. The composition beautifully showcases the camaraderie among these hardworking individuals, united by their shared profession. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported into a world where time seems suspended. The soft morning light casts gentle shadows across the cobblestone streets while crates overflow with fresh produce waiting to be sold. It is a reminder of the rich history that permeates through every corner of Covent Garden. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic in 1870, offering readers an insight into the vibrant atmosphere that characterized early mornings at Covent Garden Market. Today, it serves as a testament to both Houghton's artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with markets as vital hubs for commerce and community.
