EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Alfieri in the early 20th century, transports us back to Islington Market on a significant day - the 10th of February, 1922. The image showcases diligent workmen taking precautions against the dreaded Foot and Mouth Disease that plagued Europe's agricultural communities during this era. In this snapshot of history, we witness a group of adults meticulously disinfecting their boots before leaving the market premises. Their dedication to preventing the spread of this highly contagious disease is evident as they meticulously follow protocols set in place for their own safety and that of livestock. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how vital agriculture was in rural communities during the 1920s when farming played an essential role in sustaining livelihoods. As we observe these individuals diligently carrying out their duties amidst cows grazing nearby, we are reminded not only of the challenges faced by farmers but also their unwavering commitment to safeguarding animal health and preserving food security. Alfieri's skillful composition captures both the gravity and determination present during those times. This evocative image stands as a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness in combating devastating diseases like Foot and Mouth while shedding light on an important chapter in European agricultural history.
