Costermonger Costermongers Donkey Greengrocer Greengrocers Scrap Selling Vegetable Vegetables
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a hardworking Victorian costermonger, or greengrocer, selling his fresh produce from a traditional vegetable cart, pulled by a donkey. Dressed in the typical attire of the era, the man exudes determination and resilience as he calls out to potential customers, showcasing his array of colorful vegetables with pride. The donkey, a common mode of transport for costermongers in the late 1800s, patiently waits nearby, its ears perked up at the commotion. The cobblestone streets and horse-drawn carriages in the background add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian England. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the humble tradespeople who played a vital role in providing fresh produce to communities before the advent of modern supermarkets.
