EDITORS COMMENTS
Occupations 1882 - The Costermonger Date: 1882 Description: This photograph, taken in the 1880s, captures the essence of a costermonger at work in Victorian England. The costermonger, a common street trader of the time, is seen here expertly balancing a large basket of fruits and vegetables on the back of a donkey. Dressed in a simple working outfit, complete with a bowler hat and apron, he skillfully navigates the crowded streets, calling out to potential customers with a confident and inviting tone. The mule, with its patient and steady demeanor, appears to be a trusted companion in this man's daily trade. The costermonger's cart, adorned with colorful signs and displays, adds to the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the bustling urban scene. This image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the hard work and determination of the costermonger as he goes about his daily business, providing fresh produce to the community. The series, "Occupations 1882," offers a fascinating look at various trades and callings of the time, providing valuable insight into the lives of working people during the Victorian era.
