EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured engraving titled "Mackerel" by Francis Wheatley, dating back to the 18th century. The artwork depicts a bustling scene in London, where a fish seller stands on a doorstep with an array of freshly caught mackerel displayed before him. This snapshot of commerce and daily activities captures the essence of life in this vibrant city. The image is part of the renowned Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection, housed in a private collection. It portrays one of the many trades that thrived during that era, highlighting the significance of fish as a staple food source for Londoners. The mezzotint technique used by Thomas Appleton in 1907 adds depth and texture to this exquisite engraving. The attention to detail brings these marine creatures to life, showcasing their distinctive patterns and shimmering scales. "Mackerel" not only celebrates the beauty of these animals but also pays homage to the cries heard throughout London's streets as sellers advertised their goods. This engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind it while immersing ourselves in London's rich cultural heritage.
