EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bustling market scene in the 16th century. Titled "Sale by Town Crier" it is based on a woodcut from Joos de Damhouder's renowned work, Praxis Rerum Civilium, published in Antwerp in 1557. In the foreground, Preco the crier blows his trumpet to gather attention as he announces the ongoing sale. Surrounding him are eager buyers, both male and female, engrossed in their search for bargains. The atmosphere is vibrant with anticipation and excitement. A public officer known as Subhastator oversees the proceedings, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Meanwhile, in the background, another sale takes place under the guidance of a bellman. This image beautifully showcases how commerce thrived during this era. The litho technique used to reproduce this woodcut adds depth and texture to every detail captured by the Dutch School artist responsible for its creation. This particular print belongs to a private collection called The Stapleton Collection. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from centuries ago, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of daily life unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of how markets have always been integral hubs where people come together to exchange goods and create connections that transcend time itself.
