EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hot Spice Gingerbread Smoking hot!, Cries of London, c1870" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. In this lively scene captured by an anonymous photographer, we see a gingerbread seller standing proudly behind his barrow. He is accompanied by a woman and children who are captivated by the delicious aroma emanating from his cart. A young boy can be seen indulging in a piece of the tempting gingerbread, savoring every bite. Meanwhile, a loyal dog stands faithfully in front of the cart, perhaps hoping for a treat as well. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from history, showcasing the rich attire worn by both men and women during that era. The image transports us to a time when street sellers like this gingerbread vendor played an essential role in providing sustenance and delight to passersby. It reminds us of the diverse occupations that existed in London's busy streets and highlights how food was not only nourishment but also an experience shared among people from all walks of life. Preserved through Francis Wheatley's lens, this photo mechanical process captures not just an advertisement for gingerbread but also offers glimpses into street life and transportation during that period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of our enduring fascination with history and its ability to transport us across time.
