Antique & Vintage Photographs EST. 1998 Fishmonger Large Fish Market Quayside Fisherman Working Class Man 1900s Photo
This is a silver gelatin photograph that is unmounted and is 3½ x 5½ inches (91x142mm).
It shows a full-length outdoor portrait of a fishmonger or fisherman standing on a wet, cobbled quayside. The man, who has a prominent moustache and wears a flat cap, jacket, and waistcoat, holds up a very large flatfish for the camera.
The scene is a busy fish market, with other people visible in the background. The man is surrounded by the tools of his trade, including a wooden barrel used as a table, a wooden crate, a wicker basket, and a metal bucket. More fish are laid out for sale on the barrel and in the crate.
The reverse of the mount has a pencil notation that reads \"BK 199\", which is likely a collection or inventory number. The photograph offers a candid glimpse into the daily life of the fishing industry at the turn of the 20th century.
