EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Pine-Apples, "a Penny a Slice, 1845" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Victorian London. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a bustling scene filled with street traders and eager children. In this snapshot of street life, we witness a fruit vendor proudly displaying his delectable wares - juicy pineapples neatly sliced and ready for consumption. With a cart brimming with these tropical delights from the West Indies, he entices passersby with his cry of "Pine-Apples, a Penny a Slice!". The image not only captures the energy and diversity of London's marketplaces but also highlights the significance of imported goods during that era. Pineapples were considered exotic delicacies at the time due to their origins in distant lands like the Caribbean. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that this engraving is more than just an illustration for The Illustrated London News. It serves as a fascinating window into botany and natural history as well as an exploration of science and food culture. With its rich details and lively characters, this print transports us to another era while reminding us of how trade has shaped our world throughout history.
