The captivating engraving titled "Potatoes, full weight!" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. In this snapshot of street life, a young girl and her loyal dog are depicted as they engage in the trade of selling potatoes. The image captures the essence of a child's role in supporting their family through work. With a determined expression on her face, the girl pushes a wheelbarrow filled with sacks of potatoes while gripping onto her walking stick for support. Her canine companion faithfully follows alongside, adding an endearing touch to the scene. This artwork is part of the renowned Valerie Jackson Harris Collection and offers a glimpse into British culture during that era. It represents not only the industrious nature of street traders but also showcases how children were actively involved in contributing to their household income. The artist skillfully portrays both innocence and responsibility within this single frame. Through intricate details such as clothing attire and architectural elements, we can sense the authenticity and historical accuracy present in this piece. "Potatoes, full weight!" serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by individuals from all walks of life throughout history. It reminds us that even mundane tasks like selling potatoes hold significance when it comes to survival and providing for one's loved ones.
