EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Borough Market in London during the years 1926-1927. The artist, Whiffin, skillfully captures a vibrant scene where fruit baskets are stacked high against charming houses. This colorised print brings to life the vivid hues of various fruits, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of traditional British architecture. The image not only showcases the abundance and diversity of fresh produce available at this iconic market but also highlights its significance as a hub for trade and commerce. As one explores this snapshot from Wonderful London, volume II edited by Arthur St John Adcock, published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, it becomes evident that Borough Market has long been an integral part of England's culinary heritage. In this early 20th-century depiction, we catch a glimpse of how locals would have gone about their daily lives - purchasing ripe apples or juicy oranges from these meticulously arranged stacks. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia while simultaneously reminding us that markets like these have stood as pillars of community and sustenance throughout history. Thanks to The Print Collector's careful colorisation technique, we can appreciate every intricate detail within this historical gem. It serves as a testament to both Britain's rich cultural tapestry and the enduring allure of Borough Market itself.
