Marseilles, France: A Moment of Passion at the Fish Market, Circa 1910s This evocative photograph captures a heated moment at the bustling fish market of Marseilles, France, circa 1910s. The image shows an angry fishwife, dressed in a red apron, fiercely defending the freshness of her produce against a man who dares to question her. With a forceful gesture, she hits out at him, her expression a mix of determination and indignation. The scene unfolds on a crowded street, with other fishwives and traders in the background, engaged in the lively give-and-take of buying and selling. The fish stalls, adorned with colorful signs and displays, add to the vibrant atmosphere of the market. The photograph is marked with the red stamp and postmark of a French postal service, indicating its journey through the mail. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of Marseilles' fish market, which has been a vital part of the city's cultural and economic landscape for generations. The photograph captures the raw energy and passion of the market, as well as the resilience and determination of the fishwives who worked there.
