EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a vibrant scene from the bustling streets of 19th century London. In this lithograph by Samuel Stanesby, we witness a slice of daily life as an enterprising baked potato seller stands on a street corner with two young boys by his side. The aroma of freshly cooked potatoes fills the air, tempting passersby to indulge in this popular street food. One of the boys eagerly devours a piping hot potato while his companion watches closely, hoping for a taste or perhaps waiting for his turn. A loyal dog stands faithfully at their feet, its keen sense of smell ever alert for any discarded scraps that may come its way. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element: from the vendor's traditional attire and the distinctive color palette that brings vibrancy to the scene. This lithograph not only showcases an occupation but also offers insight into social dynamics and everyday interactions during this era. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, "All Hot" serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It transports viewers back in time to experience the sights and sounds of old London streets where hardworking individuals like Samuel Stanesby plied their trade amidst a backdrop of lively cries and bustling activity.
