EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the vibrant spirit of St Giles in 1877, this print showcases Joseph Carney at his bustling fish stall. Nestled between Seven Dials and Five Dials, the market comes alive with activity as locals flock to indulge in the freshest catch of the day. At first glance, one cannot help but notice an endearing figure leaning on a lamppost - Ugly, an orphan boy who has found solace and support within the tight-knit community of market traders. The scene unfolds further as our gaze shifts towards Little Mic-Mac Gosling, a young lad holding a pitcher with curiosity etched upon his face. His presence adds another layer of charm to this timeless image, symbolizing the intergenerational bonds formed amidst these bustling streets. Originally published in 'Street Life In London' by Thompson and Smith in 1877, this photograph transports us back to a bygone era where commerce thrived alongside human connection. The authenticity captured here is palpable; it speaks volumes about resilience, camaraderie, and survival against all odds. As we admire this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection at Fine Art Storehouse, let us not forget that beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a testament to humanity's ability to find kinship even in the most unlikely places. This evocative snapshot serves as a poignant reminder that compassion knows no boundaries when hearts unite within shared spaces.
