EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled "Cheery Families - Mr Fin the Fishmonger" and taken in the late 1890s, captures a joyful moment in the bustling Bunhill Row area of London. The image features a group of men and their families gathered around a fishmonger's counter, owned by none other than Mr. Fin. The fishmonger, with his distinctive beard and broad smile, proudly displays an array of fresh fish on the counter, their vibrant colors and glistening scales a testament to his trade. The scene is filled with a sense of camaraderie and merriment as the men and their wives or children engage in a lively game of cards. The women, dressed in their Victorian finery, watch with amusement as their husbands and sons compete, their laughter and chatter adding to the jovial atmosphere. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, playfully dart in and out of the frame, their curious eyes fixed on the game. The fishmonger's shop, with its wooden counter and worn floorboards, exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The fishy smell that wafts through the air, a reminder of the fresh produce on display, only adds to the sense of community and connection. This photograph is a delightful snapshot of a simpler time, a time when families and friends came together to share in the simple pleasures of life. The photograph was taken by renowned English photographer Richard Doyle, who captured the essence of everyday life in Victorian London through his poignant and evocative images. This photograph, with its cheerful families and happy scene, is a testament to Doyle's ability to capture the human spirit and the joy of community.
