1885 Cries Roses Seller Sellers Sweet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Old London Cries, a series of prints depicting the colorful characters and vibrant street life of 19th century London. In the foreground, a flower seller extends an arm laden with roses, inviting passersby to "Buy my sweet roses." The roses, their petals a rich, velvety red, are arranged in a beautiful, artful display. The seller's expression is one of determination and hope, as she calls out to potential customers with a voice that carries the weight of tradition and history. The background of the print is filled with the hustle and bustle of the busy London street. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians jostle for space, creating a sense of energy and movement. The buildings, with their intricate brickwork and ornate details, loom overhead, a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. This print, created in 1885, is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the street sellers who once populated the streets of London. It is a reminder of the importance of small moments and the human connection that can be found in even the most mundane of transactions. The flower seller's call to "Buy my sweet roses" is a reminder that in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily life, there is still beauty to be found, and connections to be made.
