EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CRIES OF LONDON, 1759. Ink Seller" by Paul Sandby takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the mid-18th century. The artist skillfully captures the essence of everyday life during this era with his pen and watercolor technique. In the foreground, we see a man dressed in humble attire, representing the lower working class of society. He carries a basket filled with ink bottles and other writing supplies, showcasing his occupation as an ink seller or peddler. With a stick in hand and determination on his face, he walks along the street, offering his goods to passersby. The scene is set against a backdrop of vibrant Rococo architecture that characterizes London at that time. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brick and window pane is meticulously depicted by Sandby's skilled hand. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era where commerce thrived on the streets of England's capital city. It serves as a reminder of the hardworking individuals who made their living through honest labor despite their challenging circumstances. Sandby's portrayal not only showcases his talent but also sheds light on an often overlooked segment of society - those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to support themselves and their families. This print stands as a testament to their resilience and dedication amidst an ever-changing world.
