EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the lively scene of a Plaice or Flounder seller, known as a 'Cryer,' in the bustling streets of London during the early 19th century. The year is 1804, and the Cryer proudly displays his freshly caught Plaice and Flounders in a large, woven basket, balanced atop a hoop for easy transportation. The fish, with their distinctive flat bodies and large heads, are arranged artfully, their scales glistening in the sunlight. The Cryer's call, a distinctive and rhythmic chant, would have attracted customers from the surrounding area. The cry of "Live Plaice! Live Flounders!" would have echoed through the narrow, cobblestone streets, drawing in those in search of a fresh, nutritious meal. The Plaice and Flounders were popular choices for Londoners, as they were abundant in the North Sea and could be easily prepared in a variety of ways. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it provides a glimpse into the rich and diverse food culture of London during this time period. The image also highlights the importance of the fish trade, which played a crucial role in the city's economy. The Cryer's profession was a traditional one, passed down through generations, and was an integral part of London's street life. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical detail, from the Cryer's colorful attire to the intricately designed hoop and basket. It is a reminder of a time when London's streets were filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the city's vibrant food trade, and where a Cryer's call could bring a fresh and delicious meal to the doorstep of any hungry Londoner.
