EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Fine Oysters!" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. This engraving, created by an English School artist, captures the essence of a vibrant marketplace filled with street vendors and their unique cries. In this scene, we witness a fish seller passionately promoting his prized oysters. His cry echoes through the narrow lanes as he proudly displays his shellfish bounty to passersby. The noise and commotion surrounding him create a lively atmosphere that is characteristic of old London's street life. This illustration originally served as an accompaniment to Andrew W Tuer's book titled "Old London Street Cries" published in 1885. It offers us a glimpse into the marketing techniques employed by these sellers during that era. The image transports us not only visually but also audibly, as we can almost hear the sounds of busy footsteps mingling with animated conversations and calls from various vendors selling their wares. As we admire this piece from our private collection, it reminds us of the rich history embedded within everyday scenes like these. It serves as a testament to how commerce has evolved over time while still retaining its core elements – human interaction, animal produce such as oysters, and the timeless art of effective marketing strategies used by street sellers throughout history.
