EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, estimated to date back to around 1873, showcases the daily delivery of fresh, succulent oysters to St. Nicholas Restaurant. The image, sourced from B. Roth & Sons, depicts a man skillfully carrying a tray laden with oysters on the half shell and a bottle of ale. The express company's logo is prominently displayed on the crate, emphasizing the importance of timely and efficient transportation to ensure the freshest seafood for the restaurant's discerning clientele. St. Nicholas Restaurant, a renowned establishment of its time, prided itself on offering only the finest and most exquisite dishes. The arrival of these oysters, delivered straight from the shore, was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to providing an unparalleled dining experience. The man in the photograph, dressed in a crisp shirt and waistcoat, exudes an air of professionalism and dedication as he carefully balances the precious cargo. The bottle of ale, a popular beverage pairing with oysters, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of fine dining and the importance of fresh, locally sourced ingredients in the late 19th century. The image, with its intriguing details and rich history, is a must-have for any collection focused on food history, antique photography, or the evolution of the restaurant industry.
