PDC-F-002466-0000 - Fish Market in Lisbon - A Glimpse into the Vibrant Trade of a Bygone Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to early 20th century Lisbon, where this print transports us to the bustling fish market. In this snapshot captured by Underwood & Underwood, we witness a vibrant scene filled with women wearing flat hats as they skillfully sell an array of fresh fish from their wooden boxes. The date on the photograph suggests that it was taken around 1900-1905, offering us a rare glimpse into the commerce and trade practices of that era. The market structure itself stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity, showcasing its functional design for efficient trading. Amidst the lively atmosphere, these female vendors take center stage. Their traditional attire reflects both fashion and clothing trends of the time while also honoring their ethnic roots. As they engage in their daily work routine, each woman exudes strength and determination through her posture and expression. This portrait not only captures individual personalities but also provides valuable insights into Portuguese culture during this period. It serves as an anthropological treasure, allowing us to explore aspects of ethnography and folklore specific to Portugal and Europeans or people of European origins. As we delve deeper into this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, it becomes evident that beyond being just another commercial endeavor for profit-making purposes; it encapsulates a slice of history frozen in time. This photograph reminds us how vital markets were as hubs for social interaction and economic sustenance within communities. Let this mesmerizing print transport you back over a century ago when life revolved around local markets like these – where hardworking individuals built connections through trade while nourishing entire populations with their bountiful catches from sea to table.
