EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the bustling streets of London in the late 17th century. In this snapshot, we see a basket seller navigating through the crowded thoroughfare with remarkable skill and poise. Balancing several intricately woven baskets on her head, she also carries an assortment of straw hats, showcasing her diverse merchandise. The image is part of the renowned series "Cries of London" which depicted various street vendors and their unique calls to attract customers. This particular print showcases the vibrant energy and entrepreneurial spirit that characterized London's street life during this era. The anonymous artist behind this etching expertly portrays not only the woman's physical strength but also her fashionable attire, reflecting the fashion trends prevalent at that time. The lady's occupation as a basket seller was one among many opportunities available for women seeking employment in 17th-century England. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome artwork by Marcellus Laroon I offers us a fascinating glimpse into everyday life centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of how commerce has always been an integral part of society, with hardworking individuals like this basket seller contributing to both their own livelihoods and the economic fabric of London. As we admire this historical photograph, let us appreciate those who came before us - resilient women like her who played vital roles in shaping our world today.
