EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cries of London Plate 12: Hot Spice Gingerbread, smoaking hot!" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The image, originally created by Francis Wheatley in 1796 and reproduced in 1911, beautifully captures a vibrant scene filled with life and activity. In this snapshot of history, we find ourselves immersed in a lively outdoor market setting. A street seller pushes his hand cart through the busy lane, proudly displaying his mouth-watering gingerbread treats. The aroma fills the air as people gather around to purchase these delectable delights. The diversity of characters is striking - men, women, boys, and girls all come together to experience this culinary delight. Dressed in colorful attire that reflects the fashion trends of their time period, they eagerly await their turn to savor the hot spice gingerbread. Amidst the crowd stands a young boy holding onto his father's hand while gazing longingly at the delicious treats on offer. Meanwhile, a lady dressed elegantly catches our attention as she engages with another customer nearby. As we observe this snapshot from history captured by The Connoisseur magazine over a century ago, we can't help but appreciate how it transports us into an era where street traders like these were an integral part of everyday life in London. This print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how even simple pleasures like enjoying freshly baked gingerbread have stood the test of time.
