EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of a door mat seller plying his trade at Charing Cross, London, circa 1805. The seller, dressed in the typical attire of the time, is shown standing before a makeshift table laden with an assortment of door mats, each one meticulously arranged to showcase its textured surface and vibrant colors. The door mats, a common household item even in the early 19th century, would have provided both practical and aesthetic benefits to those entering and exiting homes. The bustling street scene in the background adds to the sense of activity and commerce, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians passing by. The vendor's attentive expression and outstretched hand suggest that he is engaging with a potential customer, offering a mat for their consideration. The intricate details of the image, from the seller's worn leather apron to the folds of his trousers, transport us back in time to the streets of London over 200 years ago. This print offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the past, showcasing the trades and activities that once thrived on the streets of London. The door mat seller's trade may have been humble, but it was an essential part of the household economy and contributed to the daily lives of Londoners in the early 1800s.
