A man in a stained apron works a knife along a fish on a wooden market counter, the kind of hands-on trade that once filled American public markets from the late 1800s into the mid-1900s. Stalls like this one were the everyday source of fresh meat, fish and produce for city households, and the counter itself, with its scarred surface and open display, shows how little separated the seller from the customer. Pictures of working vendors at their stands are useful for seeing how food was cut, weighed and sold before refrigerated supermarkets changed the routine.
