EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a woman is seen purchasing meat from a mobile shop in the picturesque town of Neuville Sur Oise, located in northern France. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the corrugated metal exterior of the Citroen H Van, a Type H or H-Type panel van, which has been transformed into a makeshift butcher's shop. The Citroen H Van, produced by the French automobile manufacturer between 1947 and 1981, was a simple front-wheel drive van developed in the aftermath of World War II. With a total production of 473,289 units in factories in France and Belgium over three decades, it remains an iconic symbol of post-war French industrial design. The woman, dressed in a casual outfit and carrying a shopping bag, exudes a sense of contentment as she engages in this everyday transaction. The van's open rear doors reveal neatly arranged cuts of meat, while the butcher, out of view, prepares the next customer's order. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of mobile shops and the resourcefulness of small business owners in providing essential services to their communities. This image, taken in 1994, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of rural French life. The Citroen H Van, with its distinctive design and versatility, serves as a fascinating backdrop to this moment in time.
