EDITORS COMMENTS
1894: Ironic Conversation between Two Cockney Men in an East London Boozer This intriguing photograph captures an ironic conversation between two Cockney men, engrossed in a conversation at a bustling East London pub. The men, dressed in typical Costermonger attire, are clad in worn clothing, with Phil, on the left, asking his companion, "Who was the bloke I see yer speakin' to last night?" The question is met with a casual response from his friend, "Wot sort o bloke?" Phil clarifies, "He had a Collar on." His companion, seemingly unimpressed, retorts, "O, he warn't up to much." The Costermongers, or "Costers," were itinerant street traders who sold fruits, vegetables, and other goods from their barrows in the streets of London. Their distinctive dress, characterized by a collarless jacket and a flat cap, was a symbol of their working-class status. The inclusion of a man with a collar in their conversation suggests someone of a higher social standing, perhaps a shopkeeper or an office worker. Despite their seemingly dismissive attitude towards the man with a collar, the irony lies in the fact that the two Cockney men, with their traditional Costermonger attire, were likely to be perceived as being of a lower social status themselves. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of London's East End, providing a window into the lives and conversations of its working-class inhabitants over a century ago.
