London Cries - Troop, every one! - Toy Trumpets, 1827
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. This evocative image, captured by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a group of men playing toy trumpets with an air of joviality and camaraderie. The year is 1827, and the scene unfolds on the cobblestone streets of London, where the cacophony of sounds and sights is a constant symphony. Amidst the hustle and bustle, these men, dressed in clothing typical of the era, have gathered to play their brass instruments, adding a melodic layer to the urban landscape. Their faces are etched with concentration and delight, as they skillfully manipulate the tiny trumpets, their rosy cheeks puffed out in exertion. The trade of toy trumpets was a common sight in the streets of London during the 1820s. These miniature instruments were often made of brass, just like their larger counterparts, and were popular among children and adults alike. The men in this photograph are likely part of a troop, traveling from place to place to entertain and earn a living. Their performance, while simple, brings a sense of joy and wonder to the people around them. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of music and street culture in London during the 19th century. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the city during that time, and to appreciate the simple pleasures that brought people together. The toy trumpets may be small, but they hold a significant place in the annals of London's musical history, and this photograph captures that history in a beautifully poignant way.
