EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century London. Titled "Maids buy a Mapp, Cries of London" it captures a moment in time when street cries filled the air and various tradespeople showcased their wares. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a female mop seller who skillfully balances a bundle of long-handled mops on her head. Her dress reflects the fashion of the era, transporting us to an England that was vibrant with activity and commerce. The etching, attributed to Marcellus Laroon I or Old Laroon, showcases his talent for capturing everyday life in intricate detail. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this snapshot from history. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in the United Kingdom, this artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insights into the occupation and profession of street sellers during that period. It reminds us of how these hardworking women played an essential role in sustaining urban life through their trade. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back centuries ago, marveling at the rich tapestry of street life that once animated London's busy thoroughfares.
