EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of a blind boot-lace seller in the bustling streets of 19th century London. Dressed in tattered clothes and wearing a felt hat, the man skillfully threads and sells boot laces to passersby, his little dog sitting faithfully by his side. The dog, with its alert ears and watchful eyes, seems to be assisting its owner in his trade, adding a sense of companionship and warmth to the scene. The seller holds a long wooden stick, which he uses to navigate the crowded streets and locate potential customers. The image, taken circa 1850s, provides a poignant glimpse into the daily life of street traders during this era. Despite his disability, the blind boot-lace seller demonstrates an unwavering commitment to his trade, showcasing the indomitable spirit of the working class in Victorian England.
