EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Breton onion seller plying his trade on the pavement of a bustling Bristol street in the 1960s. The man, dressed in traditional Breton attire, wears a striped shirt and a beret, adding to his distinctive and authentic appearance. He holds a large basket of golden onions, their silken skins glistening in the sunlight, while a few silver coins and a length of string are scattered on the table before him. The onions are arranged in neat piles, ready for customers to buy and take home. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and simplicity, as the seller goes about his daily work in the open air. The background is filled with the sounds, smells, and sights of the busy street, with passersby hurrying past, the clatter of shopping baskets, and the chatter of voices. The glass-fronted shops and the old, weathered buildings add to the charm of the scene, making it a snapshot of a bygone era. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the UK, and the enduring tradition of street trading. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, the beauty of the natural world, and the human spirit of enterprise. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who loves a good story, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to another time and place.
