EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a bustling street scene. The image captures the essence of urban life as a man, whose identity remains unknown, skillfully sells clothes on the street. Dressed in traditional attire befitting his occupation, the merchant dons a stylish hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. His determined expression and confident stance reveal a hardworking individual dedicated to his craft. The print beautifully showcases the intricacies of daily life during this era. It offers us a glimpse into the world of black market trading and street commerce that was prevalent at the time. As we observe this travelling merchant going about his metier, it becomes evident that he is not just selling garments but also embodying resilience and resourcefulness. This photograph by Leonard de Selva perfectly encapsulates mens fashion trends from that period with its attention to detail and authenticity. The composition highlights both the laborious nature of such work and the virilite required for success in this trade. As we admire this remarkable piece from a private collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect upon how it serves as an invaluable historical document capturing one man's contribution to society through street trade.
