EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two crockery sellers, Cries of London, 1760" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century England. Created by the talented artist Paul Sandby, this etching beautifully captures a moment in time when street traders played an essential role in daily life. In the image, two women gracefully carry a large basket filled with earthenware pottery between them. Their strength and determination are evident as they navigate through the crowded streets of London. The woman on the right stands out with her dress revealing one breast, adding a touch of intrigue to the scene. The Cries of London series depicted various street vendors selling their goods and services to passersby. This particular print showcases two crockery sellers who were part of this vibrant street life. With their teapots and other pottery items prominently displayed in their basket, these women aimed to attract potential customers by showcasing their wares. This artwork not only provides us with a glimpse into everyday life during that era but also highlights how individuals made a living through entrepreneurship and trade. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people worked hard to earn money and support themselves. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London's United Kingdom, this historic piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as documentation of an important aspect of society from long ago.
