EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Dufferin Street: Costermongers Buildings in London, back in 1896. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, showcases a bustling scene filled with life and activity. In this snapshot of history, we see a row of costermongers buildings adorned with windows and a prominent lamp post protruding into the frame. The street is teeming with barrels and pedestrians going about their daily routines. Among them are children, adding an innocent charm to the scene. The location is Finsbury, within the Metropolitan Borough of Islington in London. This architectural gem reflects the Victorian era's grandeur that still resonates today. Its courtyard provides a glimpse into England's rich heritage. The photograph itself is a testament to early photography techniques, capturing intricate details despite its monochromatic nature. Preserved by the eLondon Metropolitan Archives and now made available through Bridgeman Images, it offers us a window into London's past. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported to another time - when horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets and costermongers peddled their goods amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, certain aspects of humanity remain timeless – like our desire for community connection found within these historic walls on Dufferin Street.
