EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Peas" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London, where commerce and daily activities thrived. The artist, Francis Wheatley, beautifully captures a scene from the Cries of London series, showcasing the vibrant trade of peas. In this print, we witness a moment frozen in time as a street vendor passionately cries out his wares. His voice echoes through the city as he proudly displays his fresh peas to passersby. The intricate details of this mezzotint by Thomas Appleton in 1907 bring life to every stroke and shade. The image transports us to an era when such trades were essential for sustenance and survival. It reminds us of the simple pleasures found in everyday commodities like vegetables. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost hear the clamor of footsteps on cobblestone streets mingling with animated conversations about prices and quality. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. This print serves as a window into both the past and present—a testament to our enduring connection with food and how it shapes our lives. Let this enchanting engraving transport you back centuries ago when London's streets were filled with traders peddling their goods—where even something as humble as peas could inspire awe and fascination among those who beheld them.
