Baskets of fish, stacked and ready for sale, are the centerpiece here, set against the working bustle of a market day. Scenes like this were common in the years when fresh catch moved quickly from boat or wagon to the buyer, and vendors relied on sturdy woven containers that could be packed, lifted and shipped with little fuss. The picture is a useful record of how food reached ordinary households before refrigerated transport made long journeys routine. Look closely at how the baskets are arranged, since the order of the stacks often reveals how a seller organized a busy stall.
