EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily life of a street comb seller in 1860s London, as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, dated 1864. The poor woman, dressed in a shawl and a bonnet, is intently focused on her trade, displaying her combs on a small table before her. The cobblestones under her feet and the worn buildings in the background add to the sense of urban grit and poverty that characterized the city during this era. The comb seller's trade was a common sight on the streets of Victorian London, as combs were an essential item for maintaining personal hygiene and appearance. The woman's determined expression and the modest setup of her table suggest that she was accustomed to the rigors of street trading, a livelihood that likely provided her with meager income. Despite the challenging conditions, the woman's posture and the neat arrangement of her combs convey a sense of pride and dignity. Her shawl, which covers her shoulders and keeps her warm, also adds a touch of elegance to her appearance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of working-class women in 19th-century London, highlighting their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. This image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse social fabric of London during the Victorian era, a time of rapid industrialization, urbanization, and social change. It invites us to reflect on the experiences of women like this comb seller, who played a vital role in the city's economic and social fabric, and to appreciate the human stories that lie behind historical records and photographs.
