EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Delightful Caricature of Two Middle-Aged Cockney Flowergirls by Phil May (1864-1908) Step back in time to the vibrant and bustling streets of the East End of London in 1897, as we present this charming and humorous caricature by renowned British illustrator Phil May. Entitled "Sweet Violets," this print depicts two Cockney flowergirls, their youth long past, as they go about their daily trade with a touch of wicked humor. Dressed in their traditional costumes, the flowergirls proudly display their baskets brimming with fresh and fragrant blooms. The elder flowergirl, with a knowing smile and a confident stance, wears a colorful cape and a wide-brimmed hat, while her companion, with a twinkle in her eye, dons a more subdued outfit. Their faces, full of character and personality, reveal the resilience and determination of these London women, who have weathered the ups and downs of life with grace and humor. The tradesmen and mongers of the East End, such as these flowergirls, played a significant role in the local economy. The costermongers, or mongers, as they were often called, were street traders who sold a variety of goods, from fruits and vegetables to flowers and other small wares. This print captures the essence of their spirit and the unique charm of the Cockney culture that thrived in the heart of London during the late 19th century. Phil May's masterful use of line and color brings these two flowergirls to life, inviting us to share a moment in their history and to appreciate the humor and warmth that can be found in the most unexpected places. "Sweet Violets" is a delightful reminder of the rich tapestry of London's past and the enduring spirit of its people.
