EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a scene from the early 1900s on the Embankment in London, featuring an onion seller going about his business. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia, taking us back to a bygone era when street vendors were a common sight in bustling city streets.
The onion seller, known as Johnny, is depicted with his cart filled with fresh produce and a lantern hanging overhead to attract customers during the evening hours. His attire reflects the Victorian and Edwardian fashion of the time, adding to the historical charm of the photograph.
The backdrop of old buildings and cobblestone streets further transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into daily life in London over a century ago. The black and white tones enhance the timeless quality of this snapshot from history.
As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine the sounds and smells that would have accompanied such scenes - the chatter of passersby, the clatter of horse-drawn carriages, and perhaps even a whiff of onions being roasted nearby.
This print serves as a reminder of how much has changed since those days while also celebrating the enduring traditions and livelihoods that once thrived on London's iconic Embankment. It is truly a piece of living history captured through the lens of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection.
