EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oranges (coloured engraving)" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with women engaged in various activities, surrounded by crates of oranges. It is an exquisite coloured engraving created by Francis Wheatley and later reproduced as a mezzotint by Thomas Appleton in 1907. The composition beautifully captures the essence of commerce and trade during this era, as well as the fashionable allure of exotic goods. The seller's stall stands prominently at the center, adorned with piles of juicy oranges that add a burst of color to the otherwise monochrome surroundings. London's cries echo through the air, creating a lively atmosphere where buyers and sellers engage in transactions. This artwork not only celebrates the citrus fruit but also serves as a testament to fashion trends prevalent during that time. The intricate details within this engraving highlight Wheatley's skillful craftsmanship while offering us a glimpse into historical London life. With its rich cultural significance and visual appeal, "Oranges (coloured engraving)" transports us to another era where everyday activities intertwine seamlessly with artistry and trade.
