EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the lively atmosphere of a fruit market in the late 18th century, as a woman carefully weighs out a quantity of succulent cherries for two curious children. The cherries, labeled as "Duke cherries," are displayed in a wheelbarrow, round and sound, and priced at five pence a pound. The children's wide eyes and eager expressions reflect their excitement at the prospect of tasting the juicy fruit, while the woman focuses intently on her task, seemingly unfazed by the attentions of a passing carter. The bustling street scene in the background adds to the sense of activity and trade, with other vendors hawking their wares and people going about their business. This charming print, dated 1795, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the sights, sounds, and flavors of a bygone era.
