Title: WELSH MARKET
Description: Women at a market stall in a town.
(1) woman with Welsh hat, goffered cap, shawl, gown with tail hooked up, apron, holding a basket of vegetables or bread.
(2) woman with baby in a nursing shawl (siol magu), wearing a coal-scuttle hat
(3) woman with a Welsh hat with a knife in her hand, preparing to cut a large cheese.
(4) woman with slightly battered Welsh hat, probably of felt
(5) woman (a customer) with bonnet and cloak or large shawl.
Six other women in the picture are wearing Welsh hats.
Note: Published in Mr and Mrs S.C. Hall’s ‘The Book of South Wales, The Wye and the Coast’ (1861), p. 302, but this version has a print of ‘The Cilhepste Fall’ on the reverse, unlike the print in the 1861 edition, so it probably came from an earlier edition of the ‘Tour’ published in 11 parts in The Art Journal in 1859 as 'Excursions in South Wales' and in 1860 in 12 parts as 'The Companion Guide (by Railway) in South Wales'.
