EDITORS COMMENTS
London Cries: Sixpence a Pound, Fair Cherries! - This evocative image captures the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of a London street in the 1820s. The photograph, taken in 1827 by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a group of women, each engaged in their own trade or "cry," calling out to potential customers with boisterous enthusiasm. At the center of the scene, a cherry seller holds up her basket, inviting passersby to buy her luscious, ripe cherries for the price of sixpence a pound. Her expressive face and animated gestures convey a sense of urgency and excitement, as if she is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The other women in the photograph, each with their own distinctive cries and wares, add to the cacophony of sounds and sights that define the bustling London streets of the time. The image provides a glimpse into the rich tapestry of urban life in the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the vibrant and diverse world that once was.
