EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print from the 17th century. In this etching titled "Buy my 4 Ropes of Hard Onyons" we are transported to the bustling streets of London where an anonymous onion seller plies his trade. Dressed in traditional attire, this hardworking man carries strings of onions attached to either end of a long pole. With determination etched on his face and a wide-brimmed hat shielding him from the elements, he navigates through the crowded streets offering his wares to passersby. This image is not just a glimpse into street life during that era but also serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness required for survival. The cries of London echo in our minds as we imagine hearing his distinct call beckoning customers to purchase these pungent vegetables. The artist's attention to detail transports us back in time, capturing every fold in the man's clothes and every wrinkle on his weathered face. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate the rich history and diverse occupations that shaped cities like London centuries ago. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome masterpiece by Marcellus Laroon I reminds us of forgotten professions and their significance within society. Let this evocative image serve as a window into another world – one filled with street sellers, unique
