EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Portuguese woman, circa 1895, in the bustling markets of Lisbon, Portugal, as she goes about her daily business as a poultry seller. Dressed in traditional attire, the young woman wears a simple, white blouse and a colorful, full skirt, her bare feet peeking out from beneath. With a confident and determined expression on her face, she skillfully carries a large wicker basket on her head, expertly balanced with the help of a wickerwork support. The backdrop of the photograph is a painted studio setting, adding a sense of timelessness and romanticism to the scene. The woman's surroundings are filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the market, as she stands amongst the vibrant colors and textures of the fresh produce and livestock. The 1890s were a time of great change in Portugal, as the country transitioned from a traditional, agrarian society to a more industrialized one. Yet, despite these changes, the markets of Lisbon continued to be a vital part of daily life, with women like this Portuguese poultry seller playing a crucial role in providing food for their families and communities. This photograph is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Portugal and the resilience and strength of its people. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the simple pleasures and traditions that continue to thrive in the present day.
