Sweep Soot O, Foundling Hospital, London, 1805
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a vivid glimpse into the bustling streets of 19th century London. This copper plate print showcases an itinerant trader known as Sweep Soot O, who roams the city selling his trade. With a sack filled with soot slung over his shoulder and a determined expression on his face, this male street seller epitomizes the hardworking spirit of the era. The backdrop of the iconic Foundling Hospital adds historical significance to this image. As Sweep Soot O calls out and shouts to attract customers, one can almost hear the cries of London echoing through time. The engraving skillfully brings to life not only the occupation but also the vibrant atmosphere that defined these streets. This print is part of "Modern London; Being the History and Present State of British Metropolis" authored by Richard Phillips in 1805. Sir Richard Phillips himself was renowned for documenting various aspects of British society during this period. With its rich colors and intricate details, this artwork transports us back to a time when street vendors like Sweep Soot O played an integral role in everyday life. It serves as a reminder of Britain's industrial past and offers a fascinating glimpse into both social history and occupational traditions that have shaped our present-day world.
