EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Cryes of London, 1655" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The etching, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a vivid depiction of various street traders and their unique occupations. In this snapshot of London life, we are introduced to a diverse range of characters. From the musk seller with his aromatic wares to the wood chopper displaying his strength and skill, each trader represents a different facet of the city's vibrant trade scene. A tankerd carrier can be seen transporting water while a nightman empties cesspits in order to keep the streets clean. The bellman stands tall as he proclaims important announcements throughout town, while another vendor offers buttons for sale. These itinerant tradespeople bring life and color to the streetscape captured in Robert Pricke's masterful print. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to witness these hardworking individuals going about their daily routines. Their cries echo through our imagination as they navigate through crowded streets filled with eager customers and curious onlookers. "The Cryes of London" serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the rich tapestry of occupations that shaped London during this era.
