Captured in Time: The Flower Girl of 1905, a Snapshot of Childhood and Street Life in Historic London This evocative photograph, titled 'Flower Girl P.C.C.,' transports us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the world of a young girl selling violets on the bustling streets of London. Dressed in a pristine white apron that contrasts sharply against her dark, polished boots, the girl wears a red neckerchief tied around her neck, adding a pop of color to her simple ensemble. Her expression is one of determination and focus, as she carefully arranges the delicate violets on the wooden tray balanced on her knees. The photograph, taken circa 1905, provides a poignant snapshot of childhood and street life during this era. The girl's youthful innocence is juxtaposed with the harsh realities of urban existence, as she sells flowers to passersby to help make ends meet. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich history of flower selling in London, which dates back to the 16th century. The photograph, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of children during this period, as they contributed to their families' livelihoods in various ways. It also showcases the vibrant and diverse street life that characterized London during the early 1900s, a time of significant social and economic change. This image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the rich tapestry of history that continues to shape our world today.
