A late-Victorian family gather for a charmingly awkward photo around their turkey feast. Women in glamorous fur coats stroke hosiery in a 1950s department store. A little boy opens a wooden rifle under a tree. There are some things about Christmas past that feel a world away. But there are others that aren’t so different after all: lovers swap gifts, children build gingerbread houses and a family ends the day rosy-cheeked and full of cheer. This photographic celebration of Christmas from yesteryear is amusing, surprising but ultimately heartwarming, reminding us of what works best at this time of year: the timeless joy of being together.

The Sunday market is a kind of street theatre: spontaneous and highly visual. Capturing a contrast between the energy of the people buying and selling and the run-down, pre-gentrification East End, these images offer a glimpse into the area before its dramatic social change. Compelling, vibrant, humorous and heartfelt, Paul Trevor’s photography brings to life a diverse, thrumming city that feels both faraway and familiar. Motivated by a keen social impulse, self-taught photographer Paul Trevor spent many years during the ’70s and ’80s capturing life in London’s markets. His photographs have been exhibited internationally since 1970.
