EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lilly-white Sand!" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Created by the talented artist TH Jones, this lithograph captures a vibrant scene from the famous series "Cries of London" around 1840. In this particular image, we witness a sand seller diligently carrying a basket filled with fine sand from his cart for an awaiting customer. The seller's loyal companion, a dog, stands nearby attentively observing the transaction. The colorful attire and lively expressions of both characters add depth and charm to this snapshot of street life. The setting is unmistakably London, with its distinctive architecture and cobblestone road in view. This piece not only showcases the daily activities that took place on these historic streets but also highlights the diverse range of occupations during that era. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in England, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an era when street traders played an essential role in providing goods to city dwellers. It serves as a reminder of how transportation methods have evolved over time while capturing the essence of trade and commerce in 19th-century London. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, TH Jones' masterpiece invites viewers to step into history and experience the sights and sounds of old London through one simple yet significant moment captured on paper.
