Under a bare bulb, a fishmonger leans over a wooden counter and works a knife along the spine of a fish, the blade catching the light. Market scenes like this one were common in towns and cities well into the twentieth century, when fish, meat and produce were sold fresh each morning and buyers judged quality by eye and by smell. The trade depended on skill with a knife and on quick, practiced hands, and a photograph of the moment captures a craft that shopkeepers passed down from one generation to the next.
