EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century London. In this snapshot from the past, we witness a street seller passionately playing a trumpet-like instrument, captivating passersby with his melodic tunes. The image is part of the renowned "Cries of London" series, believed to have been created around 1688 by an anonymous artist. These prints were a unique form of advertising in that era, depicting various street vendors and their distinctive calls or cries as they peddled their goods. Dressed in traditional attire befitting his profession, this unidentified man stands proudly on the cobblestone pavement. His hat adds character to his ensemble while emphasizing his role as a street entertainer. The etching technique used in this artwork showcases intricate details such as the folds in his clothing and the contours of his face. Marcellus Laroon I is often associated with these iconic prints; however, it remains uncertain if he was indeed responsible for this particular masterpiece. Regardless of its creator's identity, this image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insight into daily life during England's vibrant past. As we gaze upon this monochrome marvel housed within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, let us appreciate both the artistry behind it and its historical significance—a testament to centuries-old professions that once filled London's
