New York City, 1948. The Public Market at First Avenue and East 73rd Street, an example of the food market in transition.



A typical 19th-century market would have many separate vendors in an open-air space like a town square. By the early 1900s the open-air space had given way to separate vendors under a large shed roof with no walls, often near the train station. Here in this mid-century example the space is now enclosed, but still with separate vendors (green grocer, butcher, dry goods, fishmonger etc.). After the introduction of centralized distribution and self-service for the various product categories, the individual vendors fade from the scene and the market has a new name: “super-market”
