Cherries, St James's Palace, London, 1805 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Streets of 19th Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in 1805. The scene showcases an itinerant trader at St James's Palace, surrounded by a plethora of luscious cherries. With her colorful wheelbarrow filled to the brim and scales ready for weighing, this female street seller is fully immersed in her occupation. The image captures not only the trade itself but also the lively atmosphere that characterized London during this era. Shouting and calling out to potential customers with cries unique to Londoners, she adds a touch of authenticity to this snapshot from history. The grandeur of St James's Palace looms majestically in the background, contrasting with the humble yet determined figure before it. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even amidst opulent buildings and royal residences, everyday people were engaged in their own pursuits. Richard Phillips' engraving skillfully brings forth intricate details such as facial expressions and clothing styles prevalent during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into both an individual profession and broader societal dynamics. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back two centuries ago when street vendors like our cherry seller played an integral role in shaping daily life on bustling British streets.
