EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a vibrant street scene in 18th-century England. This engraving by Giovanni Vendramini showcases the bustling daily life of Georgian society. The image transports us to a time when horse-drawn carriages and sedan chairs were the preferred modes of transportation. In this lively depiction, we see a strawberry seller surrounded by baskets filled with luscious red strawberries. Positioned on a chaise à porteurs or litter, she skillfully balances her wares while engaging potential customers passing by. The vendor's presence adds an element of charm to the already picturesque setting. The artist, Francis Wheatley, masterfully captures every intricate detail - from the ornate coach and horses in motion to the elegant architecture lining the streets. This print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing everyday life during this period. Beyond its visual appeal, "Strawberries, Sweet Strawberries" alludes to botany and natural history through its focus on fruit and food production. It reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with nature and how it sustains our lives. This enchanting artwork now resides at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today as it offers a glimpse into both artistry and history alike
