EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century lithograph titled "Strawberries!, Cries of London" artist TH Jones beautifully captures a bustling street scene in England. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring to life the cries of a strawberry seller as she offers her luscious produce to passersby. At the center of the composition, we see a distinguished gentleman engaging with the strawberry seller. With his hat and cane, he exudes an air of sophistication as he bends down to inspect the basket at her feet. Perhaps enticed by their sweet aroma or vivid red hue, he is about to make a purchase that promises both pleasure and indulgence. The image transports us back in time when such street traders were an integral part of daily life in London. Their calls echoed through crowded streets, adding charm and character to urban landscapes. This particular scene showcases one individual's occupation within this thriving trade - selling strawberries. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this lithograph not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insight into 19th-century advertising techniques and social history. It reminds us of how commerce has evolved over time while highlighting the enduring appeal of fresh fruit even centuries later. This print invites viewers on a journey through time, allowing them to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and gain glimpses into everyday life during this period in England's history.
