Uitstalling van eten voor het Salvation Army Harvest Festival te Wealdstone c. 1920 - 1930

This photograph titled, Uitstalling van eten voor het Salvation Army Harvest Festival te Wealdstone, captures a display of food. I love that there is no date attached, because it could have been taken anytime! The sepia tones give the image an antique quality. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into a past tradition; the display itself is really a work of art. The baskets overflow with produce, arranged with care and precision. It’s almost as if the people in the image are as much a part of the composition as the food itself. I love the way the background trellis creates a kind of lattice effect that frames the scene. There's a real sense of community and abundance. It makes me think of the way folk art embraces the everyday and transforms it into something meaningful. It is through these objects that we can find the beauty in the mundane.
