EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Selling Rabbits, 1796" we are transported back to the vibrant streets of 18th-century London. The artist, William Ward, skillfully captures a bustling scene where commerce and daily life intertwine. The image showcases a diverse group of people engaged in the age-old trade of selling rabbits. A woman dressed in an elegant cloak stands at the forefront, confidently displaying her wares while negotiating with potential customers. Her presence exudes authority and expertise in her craft. Surrounding her are men and women from all walks of life, each with their own unique story etched on their faces. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - elaborate dresses for women and tailored coats for men. Amidst this lively atmosphere, a loyal dog faithfully accompanies its owner as they navigate through the crowd. The rustic barns and cages serve as a reminder that this trade is deeply rooted in rural traditions. This enchanting print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the intricate tapestry of society during that era. It serves as an exquisite testament to both James Ward's original artwork and William Ward's exceptional engraving skills. As we admire this piece from "The Connoisseur Volume LV" let us appreciate how art can transport us across centuries, allowing us to connect with our ancestors' everyday lives while celebrating their resilience and ingenuity.
