EDITORS COMMENTS
Oranges! An enchanting glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th century London, captured in this vibrant lithograph by TH Jones. The scene unfolds with an orange seller passionately showcasing her succulent produce to a passing gentleman. With her colorful basket brimming with citrus treasures, she exudes determination and resilience in the face of a challenging job. The Cries of London series, to which this print belongs, beautifully encapsulates the spirit of street traders who relied on their persuasive skills to make a living. In this snapshot of urban life, we witness not only the artistry behind selling oranges but also the metaphorical dance between buyer and seller. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every nuance – from the aloofness etched on the gentleman's face to the lady counting her coins nearby. The composition transports us back in time, immersing us in an era when trade was at its heart and street cries filled every corner. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece serves as a vivid reminder of England's rich history and cultural heritage. It invites us to contemplate how professions have evolved over centuries while celebrating those who once roamed these very streets.
