EDITORS COMMENTS
- Old Street Cries, 20th century (Mary Evans Picture Library/Peter & Dawn Cope Collection) This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional street trading in the early 20th century, as a milk maid with a warm and inviting smile calls out to potential customers on Old Street. Dressed in a white apron and holding a large, ornate milk pail, she exudes a sense of rural charm and reliability, inviting passersby to purchase fresh milk from her wares. The pails, stacked high on a wooden cart, are adorned with intricate designs and the traditional "Sandys" mark, a testament to the long-standing tradition of milk delivery in London. The cobblestone street and red brick buildings in the background add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The milk maid's trade, once a common sight on the streets of London, is now a nostalgic reminder of the rich history of urban commerce and the enduring connection between farmers, traders, and consumers. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a valuable historical document, showcasing the vibrant and diverse street life of London in the 20th century.
