Old Flower Seller Photos and Paintings

Victorian flower sellers were considered to be the poorest of the poor

I just love the old art of the flower sellers. During the Renaissance and Victorian times, artists often painted those who were poor. Many of these old paintings depicted gypsies and peasants in their natural surroundings, whether it be a beautiful meadow or a crowded city street.


 
Peasant flower sellers often worked long into the wee hours of the morning so that they could provide for their large families
