EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sold again! (engraving)", we are transported back to the bustling streets of the 19th century. The image, created by an English School artist, captures a moment that is both humorous and cautionary. A street vendor stands at his stall adorned with various wares, enticing passersby with his charismatic sales pitch. His animated gestures and persuasive charm seem to have successfully convinced a customer to make a purchase. However, upon closer inspection, we notice a mischievous glint in the vendor's eye - he appears to be conning the unsuspecting buyer. This engraving serves as a reminder of the age-old tale of fraud and deceit in commerce. It highlights how easily one can fall victim to cunning schemes or cleverly disguised scams. The artist skillfully portrays this universal theme through intricate details and expressive characters. The image was originally published as an illustration for The Leisure Hour magazine in 1872, adding another layer of historical significance to its narrative. Thanks to digital restoration techniques employed on this print, it now shines brightly once again for our enjoyment. "Sold again!" invites us into a world where street vendors were not just merchants but also performers who could captivate audiences with their charisma and wit. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection via Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on the timeless lessons it imparts about trust, skepticism, and human nature itself.
