EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "New Mackrel, New Mackrel, 1795" transports us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with trade and commerce. A female street seller stands proudly on a doorstep, donning a fashionable hat and bonnet that add an air of elegance to her occupation. With a basket full of colorful fish, most notably mackerel, she calls out her wares in the traditional cries of London. Her confident demeanor reflects the resilience and determination of women who played vital roles in the city's economy during this era. The artist Nicolo Schiavonetti skillfully captures not only the woman's profession but also the essence of life in London at that time. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the intricate patterns on her dress to the expressions on passersby faces as they observe or engage with her. This print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich history and cultural heritage. It offers us a glimpse into daily life centuries ago when street vendors like this woman were an integral part of society. Through their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, they contributed to shaping London into what it is today. Displayed within "The Cries of London" series published in Apollo Volume X in November 1929, this artwork by Francis Wheatley and Nicolo Schiavonetti continues to captivate viewers with its vivid depiction of street trading during one significant period in British history.
