1795 Balancing Cries Sale Scarlet Sedan Seller Strawberries Strawberry Trades
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the vibrant energy of a bustling 18th century marketplace, as a determined woman skillfully balances a large, ornate basket filled with scarlet-red strawberries atop her head. Dressed in traditional attire, she calls out to potential customers with an inviting cry of "Strawberries for Sale!" The intricately designed sedan chair beside her suggests that she may be part of a traveling fruit trade, transporting her precious cargo from one location to another. The rich hues of the strawberries contrast beautifully against the earthy tones of the woman's clothing and the worn cobblestones beneath her feet. The vibrant colors and lively atmosphere of the scene transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life and trade of the 1790s. This print, dated 1795, is a testament to the enduring appeal of fresh fruit and the resourcefulness of those who brought it to market.
