EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hot Bak d Wardens Hot, Cries of London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The image showcases a strong and determined street seller, balancing a pot or jar on her head with remarkable skill. Her profession involves selling cooked apples and pears, which were undoubtedly a popular treat among the locals during that era. The anonymous photographer beautifully captures the essence of street life in this etching from the renowned Guildhall Library and Art Gallery collection. The woman's traditional dress reflects the fashion trends of the time, adding an authentic touch to this historical snapshot. Marcellus Laroon I, also known as Old Laroon, is believed to be behind this intriguing piece. His attention to detail shines through as he portrays not only the vendor's occupation but also her resilience amidst a challenging job. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of everyday life in 17th century London. This photograph serves as a testament to women's strength and determination throughout history while providing us with valuable insights into their roles within society.
