EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from circa 1903, an intense argument ensues between a market barrow boy and an irate smartly-dressed lady shopper over the setting of a set of scales and a bag of apples at a fruit stall. The scene takes place in the bustling Vernon Market, with the barrow boy, Percy, and the lady, likely a regular customer named Bradshaw, locked in a heated disagreement. Percy, a skilled barrow boy, confidently points to the row of musical terms printed on the side of his fruit stall, assuring the lady that his scales are accurate and that she has been "conned" by another seller. The lady, visibly upset, argues that the scales are not set correctly and demands a more precise measurement. The backdrop of the photograph is adorned with various signs, including "Running Down the Scales - Musical Terms Up To Date," "Oranges," and "Green Grocer." The signs are a testament to Percy's sense of humor and his dedication to his trade. Despite the disagreement, the scales remain steady, and the apples in the lady's bag appear untouched. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where market transactions were often a matter of trust and negotiation, and where a simple disagreement over the setting of scales could escalate into a passionate argument. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant energy of a bustling market and the intricacies of everyday life in early 20th century England. It is a reminder of the importance of accurate measurement and the power of a well-placed joke, even in the midst of a disagreement.
