EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cries of London Plate 13: Turnips & Carrots, Carottes & Navets, 1797" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century London. The image beautifully captures a scene filled with vibrant colors and lively characters. In the foreground, we see a determined female street seller dressed in traditional attire, donning a bonnet and holding a basket full of fresh vegetables. She stands beside her trusty donkey patiently waiting for customers to approach. Her gaze is fixed away from the camera, perhaps scanning the busy street for potential buyers. The backdrop showcases an old-fashioned doorway leading into what seems like a quaint shop or residence. The architecture reflects the charm of that era, transporting us to another time altogether. The road is lined with other pedestrians going about their daily routines while adding depth and movement to the composition. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insight into historical occupations and trades prevalent during this period. It reminds us of how people relied on street sellers like this woman for their daily sustenance. Preserved through time by Francis Wheatley's original work from 1797, this print allows us to appreciate both his artistic talent and his dedication in capturing everyday life in London centuries ago. Through its vivid details and rich colors, it invites viewers to step into history and imagine themselves amidst the cries of street traders echoing through these very lanes.
