Cries Marketing Noise Pens Quill Quills Sellers Sounds Vendors Seller Vendor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fine Writing Ink!" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with street vendors eagerly marketing their wares. Amongst the sellers, we see an English School engraving capturing the essence of this era. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for Andrew W Tuer's book, "Old London Street Cries" published in 1885 by Field and Tuer. It beautifully depicts one particular vendor passionately advertising his fine writing ink to passersby. Intriguingly, this engraving not only highlights the seller's cry but also emphasizes the importance of quills and pens in that time period. These tools were essential for individuals seeking to express themselves through writing or correspondence. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we can almost hear the noise and sounds of old London echoing through its narrow streets. The cries of various vendors intertwine with each other, creating a symphony unique to this vibrant city. Through this enchanting visual representation, Bridgeman Images allows us to travel back in time and experience a moment from our past when street vendors played a significant role in shaping daily life. This artwork serves as a reminder of how marketing techniques have evolved over centuries while preserving some timeless elements like craftsmanship and personal connection between sellers and buyers.
