EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colored engraving by Thomas Rowlandson captures the bustling atmosphere of London's trade scene in the 18th century. Titled "Walnuts to Pickle" it is part of Rowlandson's renowned series, "Cries of London". The print showcases a group of characters engaged in the business of selling and transporting walnuts for pickling. The image transports us back in time, immersing us in the sights and sounds of this lively marketplace. Traders can be seen hawking their wares, their voices blending together as they call out to potential customers. The central focus is on a vendor surrounded by baskets overflowing with plump walnuts, ready to be transformed into delectable pickles. Rowlandson's attention to detail brings each character to life - from the weary merchant carrying his heavy load on his back, to the elegant lady inspecting a handful of nuts before making her purchase. This engraving not only captures an important aspect of commerce during that era but also provides insight into daily life and social interactions. The vivid colors used in this print add vibrancy and depth, enhancing our appreciation for Rowlandson's skillful artistry. It serves as a visual reminder that even centuries ago, trade played a vital role in shaping cities like London. This piece from Bridgeman Images' collection invites us to take a closer look at history through art's lens – reminding us that every picture tells its own unique story.
