EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Buy a Rabbet a Rabbet, Cries of London" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The artist, Pierce Tempest, skillfully captures a moment in time where an intriguing character takes center stage. A rabbit seller can be seen carrying two poles adorned with lifeless rabbits hanging from them. Dressed in traditional attire of the era, complete with a hat and distinctive clothing, this man represents one of the many street traders who made their living through unique occupations. The etching showcases the stark contrast between life and death as it depicts these once lively creatures now motionless. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the vibrant street life of London during that period, death was an ever-present reality. This artwork is part of the renowned collection known as "Cries of London" which beautifully captured scenes from everyday life at that time. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, it offers us a glimpse into professions long gone but not forgotten. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece by Marcellus Laroon I (also known as Old Laroon), let us appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. Through Tempest's skilled interpretation, we are transported to another era filled with cries echoing through crowded streets - cries inviting passersby to purchase their very own rabbets.
