EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cherries, Cries of London, 1804" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. The image depicts a cherry seller stationed outside the grand St James's Palace in Westminster. With her wheelbarrow brimming with vibrant cherries and a pair of scales at hand, she skillfully entices passersby with her delectable offerings. The anonymous artist behind this enchanting engraving has beautifully captured the essence of street life during this era. The color palette used adds depth and richness to the scene, highlighting not only the cherries but also the lady's attire. Dressed in traditional clothing that was customary for female street traders at that time, she stands as a testament to women's involvement in various professions. Displayed within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork serves as an intriguing glimpse into both history and advertising practices from two centuries ago. It showcases how sellers would employ their vocal talents by crying out their goods to attract customers on busy city streets. William Marshall Craig's masterful execution allows us to appreciate every intricate detail - from architectural elements surrounding St James's Palace to the expressions on people's faces passing by. This photograph print is not just an exquisite piece of art; it is a window into a bygone era where occupation intertwined with daily life in remarkable ways.
