EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "London's Gazette here, Cries of London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The image showcases a female newspaper seller, adorned in traditional attire including a wide-brimmed hat, as she carries a sack filled with newspapers while holding out a sheet for potential customers. The etching beautifully captures the essence of street life during this era, depicting the occupation and profession of an anonymous woman who played an essential role in disseminating news to the public. Her presence on the streets symbolizes the importance of information exchange even centuries ago. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork by Marcellus Laroon I (also known as Old Laroon) transports viewers into a bygone era where cries from street sellers echoed through London's busy thoroughfares. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing both the historical significance and artistic mastery behind this piece. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print, we are reminded of how far journalism has come since its humble beginnings. It serves as a testament to those who dedicated their lives to sharing stories and shaping public opinion long before modern media emerged.
