EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 17th century showcases a scene straight out of bustling London streets. The image features a skilled pot mender, his trade proudly displayed as he carries a large brass or iron pot over his shoulder. With expertise evident in his hands, he holds a smaller pot and hammer, ready to mend any broken vessels that come his way. The anonymous artist behind this etching beautifully captures the essence of 17th-century England. The man's attire reflects the fashion of the time, with intricate details highlighting every fold and crease in his clothing. His hat adds an air of sophistication to his rugged occupation. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece by Marcellus Laroon I transports us back in time to witness one of London's many street cries. It serves as both an advertisement for the pot mender's services and a testament to the industrious spirit that thrived during this era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of the countless professions that shaped society centuries ago. This print immortalizes not only the skillful craftsmanship but also sheds light on everyday life in old London town.
