EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rabbit Seller, 1808" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. Artist William Henry Pyne beautifully captures a snapshot of daily life as a woman navigates through the town, her pole slung over her shoulder carrying rabbits and ducks for sale. Dressed in traditional English attire, the woman stands out against the vibrant backdrop of colorful buildings and lively street activity. Her occupation as a rabbit seller was not uncommon during this time, as people relied on street traders like her for their food supply. The image showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of women in that era who took on various professions to support themselves and their families. It is fascinating to see how they played an active role in shaping the economy while also adding charm to everyday scenes with their presence. Pyne's aquatint technique adds depth and texture to this print, enhancing our connection with history. As we admire this piece from The Costume of Great Britain collection by Pyne, we can't help but appreciate his attention to detail and his ability to transport us back in time. This print serves as a valuable glimpse into 19th-century British culture, reminding us of the diverse occupations that shaped society during that period.
