EDITORS COMMENTS
Fresh Gathered Peas Young Hostings, Cries of London, c1795. Artist: Pietro Bonato Step into the bustling streets of 18th century London with this print by Pietro Bonato. Titled 'Fresh Gathered Peas Young Hostings', it beautifully captures a scene from the vibrant street life of that era. In this enchanting image, we witness a pea seller in action as she skillfully catches peas in her apron. With precision and agility, a man in a cart pours the freshly harvested peas into her waiting apron while a young girl eagerly stands below, ready to catch any stray ones. A loyal dog faithfully accompanies them on their daily rounds. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable - every building and cobblestone meticulously etched onto the engraving transports us back to historic England. The women are dressed in traditional attire, reflecting their occupation and social status during that time. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece is part of Francis Wheatley's renowned series 'Cries of London'. It not only showcases the beauty of street trading but also pays homage to the hardworking individuals who made their living through such occupations. This monochrome masterpiece offers us an intriguing glimpse into 18th-century transportation methods and advertising techniques while celebrating everyday people engaged in their professions. A true testament to Bonato's artistic talent and his ability to capture both human character and urban landscapes.
