EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Potato Vendors in Liege" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image captures a bustling scene of commerce and trade as potato vendors go about their work in the city of Liege. In this snapshot of daily life, we see a group of individuals engaged in selling one of the most popular staples at that time - potatoes. The vendors are depicted with sacks and bags filled with these solid food items, ready to be sold to eager customers passing by. The composition offers an intriguing glimpse into the fashion and clothing styles of that era. Both male and female figures can be seen wearing traditional attire indicative of the period, adding authenticity to this historical photograph. The portrait-like quality allows us to observe each individual's unique features, expressions, and body language. Among them are adolescents who seem to have joined their elders in this vocation. It is fascinating how even at such a young age they were already contributing members of society. This print not only highlights the importance of potatoes as a dietary staple but also provides insight into everyday life during that time period. It serves as a reminder that commerce has always played an integral role in shaping communities throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but appreciate its ability to transport us back more than a century ago – capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
