Gold and Yellow Oranges - An Echo of Old Street Cries
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Helen GC Marsh Lambert (circa 1915) This evocative print by Helen GC Marsh Lambert, created around 1915, captures the essence of a bygone era with its depiction of 'Gold and Yellow Oranges.' The artist masterfully interprets the old street cries of the fruit vendors that once filled the bustling streets of England. The vibrant colors of the oranges, both gold and yellow, are the focal point of this artwork. The oranges are artfully arranged on a wooden cart, their rich hues contrasting against the muted tones of the background. The artist's skilled use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, creating a sense of realism that draws the viewer in. The vendor, dressed in traditional attire, is depicted with a determined expression and outstretched arms, inviting passersby to purchase his wares. The crowd in the background, a mix of people from all walks of life, adds to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The title, "Gold and Yellow Oranges," is a nod to the unique selling points of the fruit. The term 'gold' refers to the ripe, fully developed oranges, while 'yellow' signifies the less ripe, green oranges that were often sold alongside their more mature counterparts. The use of these descriptive terms was a common marketing technique employed by street vendors to entice customers. This print is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and tradition of old street cries in England. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the bustling markets and streets that once defined the character of this vibrant and diverse country.
