EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling market of East Street, Chichester, during its bygone days. The image is a postcard reproduction from an engraving created by M Dubourg, based on the remarkable oil painting by J F Gilbert of Chichester. Originally published in June 1814, this particular postcard dates back to around 1900. The scene depicted showcases the heart and soul of a historical town center. As we gaze upon it, we are transported into a world where farmers and townsfolk alike gather together for their daily trading activities. The market square is alive with energy as merchants proudly display their goods while potential customers browse through the diverse offerings. Amidst this vibrant atmosphere, one cannot help but notice the presence of sheep being herded through the streets. These gentle creatures symbolize not only the agricultural significance of this era but also serve as a reminder that farming was deeply ingrained within the fabric of society at that time. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Fuller Collection, this extraordinary photograph allows us to delve into our local history and appreciate how much has changed over centuries. It serves as an invaluable testament to our heritage and offers us a glimpse into life as it once was in Chichester's thriving marketplace
