EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Street Dog-Seller" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image, captured by an anonymous 19th-century English artist, is a lithographic illustration from Henry Mayhew's renowned publication "London Labour and London Poor" published in 1862. In this scene, we see a female dog-seller immersed in her trade. She stands proudly on the street corner, surrounded by adorable puppies eagerly seeking attention. Her top hat adds a touch of elegance to her appearance as she holds onto a walking stick or cane for support. The image beautifully portrays the hard work and determination of this tradeswoman who relies on selling dogs as her means of livelihood. It offers us a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during that era when pets were not just companions but also sources of income. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the sounds of bustling city life and feel the energy emanating from both the vendor and her furry clientele. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, individuals found innovative ways to make ends meet while embracing their roles within society. "The Street Dog-Seller" invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with animals and appreciate how historical images like these provide valuable insights into past cultures and traditions.
