EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print titled "Cherry-ripe, Cries of London" captures a charming scene from 19th century England. Created by the talented artist TH Jones around 1840, it depicts two children eagerly purchasing cherries from a cherry seller who stands proudly next to her barrow and a set of scales. The artwork is part of the renowned collection at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. The image showcases the bustling streets of London during this era, where street sellers like the cherry vendor played an essential role in providing goods to the city's inhabitants. The color palette used in this lithograph adds depth and life to the scene, highlighting both the vividness of the cherries and the vibrancy of everyday life on these historic streets. Not only does this artwork offer us a glimpse into 19th-century advertising techniques but also provides insight into occupations and professions that were prevalent during that time. It beautifully portrays women engaging in trade as independent business owners, challenging traditional gender roles. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging how it reflects societal changes over time. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and celebrates those individuals who contributed to shaping our cities through their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit.
