EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1845 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London. In this lively street scene, we witness a pineapple vendor attracting attention with his delicious offerings. The sign proudly proclaims "Pineapples, a penny a slice" enticing passersby to indulge in this exotic fruit. The image showcases the daily life of mid-19th century London, capturing the energy and diversity of the market place. Men and children gather around the cart, eagerly awaiting their turn to taste this tropical delight. The vendor's expertise is evident as he skillfully slices each pineapple with precision. The wood engraving technique used here adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical charm. It transports us back to an era when pineapples were considered rare and luxurious treats for most people. As we admire this print by The Granger Collection, we are reminded of how much our world has changed over time. What was once an everyday sight on London's streets now serves as a fascinating glimpse into history. This artwork invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflects upon how daily life has evolved throughout centuries.
