Summary/Abstract: The itinerant trade in the streets of Bucharest represented the affirmation of the private and national economic interects, responding at the same time to the necessities of a fast and cheap supply for the inhabitants of the city. Those who practiced such a trade were as much Romanians-especially from Oltenia, a fact which made the denomination of "oltean" more generalized-than Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish, Armenian, Jewish, Gypsy, etc. All together but also each one in part, next to their goods, constituted an image of a picturesque all by way, today forgotten, that can see it only in old photos.
