EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cries of London: Round and Sound, Five Pence a Pound, Duke Cherries" transports us back to the bustling streets of 18th-century England. The image showcases the vibrant energy of a busy marketplace as we witness a delightful interaction between a vendor and customer. Engraved by Anthony Cardon in 1795 after Francis Wheatley's original painting, this artwork captures the essence of everyday life during that era. The meticulous details bring to life the scene where a stall seller proudly displays his fresh cherries on his wheelbarrow-turned-stall. The vendor's cry echoes through the air, inviting passersby to indulge in these luscious fruits at an affordable price - five pence per pound. Meanwhile, an eager customer stands before him, carefully selecting and weighing her desired cherries. The composition exudes authenticity with its depiction of period costumes and architectural elements that surround the market square. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a glimpse into history. As we admire this remarkable piece from Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, it reminds us of how art can transport us across time and space. This enchanting print allows us to immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of old London while celebrating the simple joys found within daily routines – like purchasing ripe cherries from a friendly street vendor.
