              <text>From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 5 features a street vendor selling hot potatoes. They sold their food from mobile tin boxes that had a fire at the bottom to keep the potatoes hot. One account notes that these "baked taties" were "disabled tradesmen and laborers" (Paquat 110). Hot potatoes were sold seasonly during the colder months, from August to April. People would buy these to keep their hands warm. </text>
