EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a bustling scene in Kings Cross, London during the early 20th century. Street hawkers line the pavement, their overcoats shielding them from the brisk Edwardian air. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The sellers are engrossed in their trade, offering football favors to passersby. With flatcaps adorning their heads, they create an atmosphere reminiscent of cup final excitement. Their wares include souvenirs that undoubtedly hold sentimental value for avid football fans. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of this photograph. It transports us back to a time when street vendors were an integral part of city life, providing goods and services with personal touch. Captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown but whose talent is evident, this print now resides in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic merit. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' archives, we can't help but be transported back in time – imagining ourselves strolling through those very streets and experiencing firsthand the vibrant energy emanating from these dedicated street hawkers selling football favors on that fateful day in Kings Cross.
