This coloured engraving, titled "Turnips and Carrots" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London. The image showcases a vibrant city scene filled with various activities and trades. A young girl stands at the forefront, her eyes fixed on a donkey carrying baskets brimming with fresh produce - turnips and carrots. The artist, Francis Wheatley, masterfully captures the essence of commerce in this picturesque moment. The cries of street vendors selling their goods echo through the air as passersby go about their daily routines. This print is part of the renowned Cries of London series, which aimed to depict different aspects of urban life during that era. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving also serves as an educational tool for botany enthusiasts and natural history aficionados alike. It beautifully illustrates these humble vegetables while highlighting their significance in science and food culture. The meticulous detailing and intricate lines showcase Wheatley's skillful technique, further enhancing our appreciation for this historical artwork. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to delve into a bygone era where turnips and carrots played vital roles in sustaining both body and trade within bustling cities like London.
