EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching by George Cruikshank, titled "Itinerant Dealers in Dustable Ware, 1796" takes us back to a bustling street scene from the late 18th century. The print showcases a diverse group of individuals engaged in the age-old tradition of peddling their wares. In this vivid depiction, we see an array of characters: mongers and saleswomen proudly displaying their merchandise, accompanied by a loyal dog. Gypsies and travellers add an air of mystery and adventure to the scene. The composition captures both young and elderly merchants with their walking sticks or canes, symbolizing their resilience as they navigate through life's challenges. Cruikshank's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The vibrant colours bring life to the various items being sold - from delicate trinkets to practical household goods. Each character exudes personality and tells a story within this snapshot of daily life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time; it serves as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that has always thrived among humanity. This image reminds us that even centuries ago, people found innovative ways to make a living while embracing travel and exploration. The fine art print offered by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Cruikshank's artistic skill but also offers insight into historical trade practices. It invites viewers into an era where commerce was conducted on foot
