EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Do you want any matches?, 1794 (1910)" takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the early 20th century. The image, part of Antoine Cardon's renowned Cries of London series, showcases a vibrant scene filled with vivid colors and lively characters. In the foreground, we see a young woman dressed in traditional attire, holding a basket full of matches. Her engaging gaze invites passersby to consider purchasing her wares. A small child stands beside her, perhaps learning the trade from an early age. The cobblestone street adds authenticity to this snapshot of history, as it was a common sight during that era. The surrounding buildings and lanes create an atmospheric backdrop for this street seller's daily routine. This photograph captures not only the occupation but also the spirit and resilience of these hardworking individuals who relied on street trading for their livelihoods. It offers us a glimpse into their world – one where women played an active role in commerce alongside men. Antoine Cardon and Francis Wheatly skillfully collaborate to bring this moment to life through their artistic vision and attention to detail. Their collaboration has resulted in a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century since its creation. As we admire this remarkable print by Antoine Cardon and Francis Wheatly, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within every corner of our cities – stories waiting patiently to be discovered by those willing to take notice.
