EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the 17th century, titled 'Buy a fine Table Basket, Cries of London' (1688?). This black and white etching captures the bustling streets of old London, where street sellers like this anonymous woman made their living. Intriguingly dressed in traditional attire, she skillfully balances a variety of baskets on her head while effortlessly carrying another under her arm. A couple of straw hats rest gracefully on her opposite hip, showcasing the range of wares she offers to passersby. Her determined expression speaks volumes about her dedication to her profession. This image not only provides a glimpse into the vibrant street life of 17th-century England but also serves as an advertisement for these finely crafted table baskets. The intricate details captured by Marcellus Laroon I transport us back in time and allow us to appreciate the artistry involved in such everyday occupations. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome photograph is a testament to the rich history that lies within our city's walls. It reminds us that even centuries ago, hardworking women like this basket seller played an integral role in shaping society. Displaying this print will not only add character to your space but also serve as a reminder of the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit that has always been at the heart of London's streets.
