EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored etching and aquatint print titled "Cries of London: No. 1: Buy a Trap, a Rat-Trap, January 1,1799". Henri Merke takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century Britain. The image showcases a street seller passionately advertising his wares - rat-traps. Amidst the vibrant chaos of the city, we see a man in traditional Georgian attire energetically engaging with potential customers. His animated gestures and expressive face convey both urgency and expertise in his trade. With an array of rat traps displayed before him, he aims to capture attention from passersby who may be plagued by these pesky rodents. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this work. From the intricate etchings on each trap to the carefully rendered textures on buildings in the background, Merke transports us into this vivid scene from history. This print not only captures a snapshot of daily life during that era but also serves as a testament to the artistry involved in street trading at the time. It reminds us that even mundane occupations held their own charm and significance within society. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Henri Merke stands as an enduring representation of British culture and craftsmanship from centuries past.
