An egg seller at the market, 1937

Beside the stone wall of a church, a market woman in a headscarf and apron sits behind wooden crates heaped with eggs and a pyramid of jars, talking to a customer in a striped apron; in closer view she laughs and leans on her stall, handcarts and passers-by behind her on the cobbles. Eggs, butter and fats ran short in 1936 and 1937, as imports were cut to save foreign currency for rearmament.
