EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a bygone era with its depiction of a traditional cherry seller at work on the bustling streets of Old London. The date, 1885, etched into the bottom right corner of the print, transports us back in time as we observe the vendor's earnest call to potential customers: "Sixpence a pound, fair cherryes!" The cherries, displayed in a large, woven basket, glisten enticingly in the sunlight, their deep red hue a stark contrast against the worn, wooden table and the grey, textured background of the cobblestone street. The seller, dressed in the typical attire of the time, dons a long, dark coat and a flat cap, his face etched with the lines of a life spent hawking his wares on the streets of the city. The scene is a quintessential example of the "Old London Cries," a series of prints and illustrations that captured the daily life and cries of street vendors in the late 19th century. These images served as a visual record of the city's rich history and the vibrant, diverse community that inhabited it. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when the streets of London were filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the marketplace, and where the simple pleasures of life, like a basket of ripe, juicy cherries, could be savored for just a sixpence a pound.
