EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-tinted print captures the essence of 19th-century London in four vivid scenes from Thomas Rowlandson's "Cries of London" series. In the first scene, titled "Here's your Potatoes" a basket-carrying woman skillfully navigates the bustling streets of Covent Garden, offering her fresh produce to passersby. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this snapshot of British life to life. The second scene, "Buy my Moss Roses" showcases a female flower seller holding a beautiful nosegay bouquet while attracting customers with her captivating presence. Her colorful attire and radiant smile add charm to this street trade depiction. In contrast, the third scene portrays a blind beggar illuminated by a flaming torch held by an Iranian link boy. This poignant image reminds us of the hardships faced by those with disabilities during that era. Lastly, we witness another aspect of charity as depicted in "Pray Remember the Blind". A visually impaired man stands on a dimly lit street corner, appealing for assistance from compassionate Londoners passing by. Thomas Rowlandson's etching technique masterfully captures both the beauty and struggles within society at that time. Each frame tells its own story about professions, poverty, and human connection amidst bustling city life. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing not only Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also providing insight into everyday life in 19th-century Britain.
