EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Any New River Water here, Cries of London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The image showcases a fresh water seller, his face weathered by time and his body burdened by two heavy barrels attached to a yoke. This anonymous man, dressed in traditional attire, represents an occupation that was vital in providing clean drinking water to the people of London. The etching beautifully captures the essence of this street trader's profession - a job filled with physical labor and dedication. Marcellus Laroon I, the artist behind this masterpiece, skillfully portrays the weight these men carried on their shoulders for their livelihoods. As we gaze upon this scene from centuries ago, it is impossible not to appreciate the significance of access to fresh water even today. The concept depicted in this artwork transcends time and reminds us of our reliance on such basic necessities. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history. It invites us to reflect on how professions have evolved over time while highlighting the resilience and hard work exhibited by individuals like this nameless water seller who played an essential role in society during that era.
