EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures a bustling scene from the streets of London in the late 18th century. The focus is on a fruit seller, surrounded by an array of delicious cherries, enticingly displayed in barrels and on a wheelbarrow. The seller, dressed in traditional attire, calls out to passersby with his distinctive cry: "Round & sound five pence a pound Duke Cherries!". His voice echoes through the portico as he tries to attract customers. Children gather around the stall, their eyes wide with anticipation for this sweet treat. A male customer carefully examines the cherries while a female customer eagerly waits her turn. Anthony Cardon's colored engraving beautifully brings out the vibrancy of this scene, capturing every detail from the expressions on people's faces to the intricate patterns on their clothing. The image transports us back in time and reminds us of an era when street vendors played an essential role in providing sustenance for city dwellers. It also serves as a testament to Francis Wheatley's original painting that inspired Cardon's work. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, this print showcases not only artistic talent but also offers insight into historical social dynamics surrounding food distribution and commerce during that period.
