EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th-century London. In this snapshot of history, we witness a Dutch biscuit seller passionately advertising her delectable treats. With two baskets brimming with freshly baked biscuits, she exclaims, "Buy my Dutch Biskets!". Her vibrant dress reflects the colorful culture of Holland while standing out against the monochrome backdrop. The image captures not only a moment in time but also an entire profession that thrived during this era. The woman's occupation as a street trader highlights the entrepreneurial spirit that animated London's streets centuries ago. As we gaze upon her determined expression, it is impossible not to admire her tenacity and dedication to making a living. Although anonymous in nature, this etching by Marcellus Laroon I allows us to glimpse into the daily life and commerce of 17th-century England. Preserved within the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, it serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation. As we contemplate this remarkable piece from our past, let us appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. It reminds us of how ordinary people played vital roles in shaping society through their professions and contributions. This photograph invites us on a journey through time where women like this Dutch biscuit seller were integral parts of street life - their cries echoing through history for all generations to hear.
