Center Market in Newark, New Jersey, is the setting here, a public market that drew farmers, butchers and shoppers into the city's commercial core for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A general view like this one takes in the whole market at once, so the eye can follow the layout: rows of stalls, the people working them, and the wagons and goods that moved in and out. Markets of this kind were the everyday meeting point between city households and the surrounding farms, which makes the scene a useful record of how food reached urban buyers before supermarkets. Look closely at the crowd and the stall arrangement for clues about daily trade.
