EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ripe Strawberries, Cries of London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. The image showcases a strawberry seller, a hardworking woman carrying a basket on her head while gracefully holding smaller baskets for measuring out the luscious fruit. The anonymous artist behind this etching skillfully captures the essence of street life during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the lady's traditional dress and apron to her determined expression, we can almost hear her cries echoing through time. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery proudly houses this piece, which is believed to have been created around 1688. It serves as both an advertisement for these ripe strawberries and a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into one woman's profession in old London. Marcellus Laroon I, also known as Old Laroon or Marcellus Lauron, may be responsible for this monochrome masterpiece. Although his involvement remains uncertain due to its anonymous nature, his renowned series "Cries of London" aligns with the subject matter depicted here. As we admire this historic photograph print today, let it remind us of the hard work and dedication that went into providing sustenance for people centuries ago. Let it transport us back in time when street sellers like our strawberry vendor played an integral role in shaping daily life on those vibrant English streets.
