EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant street life of 17th century London. The image features "The Bartholomew fair Musician" a man dressed in an elaborate costume, skillfully playing the cello. This anonymous musician is part of the famous Cries of London series, which depicted various street sellers and traders during that era. Taken from an etching dating back to around 1688, this snapshot showcases the entertainment and funfair atmosphere of St Bartholomew's Fair. Held annually in England, this fair was renowned for its lively festivities and diverse attractions. The photograph offers a unique perspective on both occupation and fashion trends of the time. The musician's intricate costume reflects his dedication to his craft while adding flair to his performance. His expertise with the cello suggests he was highly respected within his profession. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece by Marcellus Laroon I (also known as Old Laroon) allows us to travel back in time and experience the sights and sounds of old London streets. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences today.
