EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Milk Below Maids, Plate 2 from the Cries of London" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 18th-century England. Created by Francis Wheatley and beautifully colored, this engraving captures a scene filled with charm and authenticity. In this lively depiction, we see a group of milkmaids dressed in traditional bonnets and yokes as they go about their daily routine. With their churns full of fresh milk, they skillfully navigate through the crowded city streets, calling out their melodic cry: "Milk below!". The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element within the composition tells a story. The young urchin eagerly follows behind the milkmaids, ready to assist them with any heavy loads or errands that may arise along the way. This enchanting engraving not only showcases Wheatley's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone. It transports us to a time when street vendors were an integral part of everyday life, adding color and vibrancy to urban landscapes. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, let our imaginations wander back in time and immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of old London.
