In this anonymous etching, we see a female seller of old satin, taffeta, and velvet, adorned in traditional attire. Her large hat adds an air of elegance to her appearance as she carries a basket filled with luxurious fabrics. The image is part of the renowned "Cries of London" series from around 1688. These prints aimed to showcase the various trades and professions that populated the bustling streets during that era.
