EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented photographer Alfieri, takes us back to a bustling day at Smithfield market on 3rd February 1936. The image showcases a general view of this iconic London landmark during the early twentieth century. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era defined by its distinctive transport and delivery systems. The scene is filled with an array of vehicles that were commonly seen navigating the streets of Europe in the 1920s. Lorries line up along the cobblestone road, their sturdy frames ready to transport goods from one place to another. These reliable workhorses symbolize the industrious nature of this vibrant marketplace. Alfieri's monochrome composition beautifully captures the essence of between-the-wars Europe. The absence of color allows us to focus on intricate details such as architectural elements and expressions on people's faces as they go about their daily routines. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also highlighting certain constants that have stood the test of time - like Smithfield market itself. This image is not just a historical artifact; it breathes life into our understanding of transportation history and offers a glimpse into an era long gone but forever imprinted in our collective memory.
