Newspaper seller
Here we see a London newspaper seller standing stoically outside The Grand Buffet, clutching the day’s headlines and flanked by placards blaring the most urgent stories of the moment: bishops debating divorce, cricket scores, and royal inquiries. His cap, heavy coat, and stack of papers mark him as a familiar figure in the capital’s daily rhythm — a silent herald of the city’s unfolding drama.
Long before smartphones or breaking news alerts, it was men like this who brought Londoners their first glimpse of the day's events — shouted aloud at street corners or pressed into eager hands during the morning rush.
This image from 1910 captures the grit and dignity of working-class life in Edwardian England. A man making an honest living, keeping pace with the city’s heartbeat, one headline at a time.
