Rhubarb, Russell Square, London, 1805 - A Glimpse into the Vibrant Street Trade of the British Metropolis
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1805. Captured on a copper plate by Sir Richard Phillips for his book "Modern London; Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" it showcases an itinerant trader immersed in his occupation. In this vivid scene, we see a male street seller passionately engaged in selling rhubarb. His headgear and turban add a touch of exoticism to his appearance as he skillfully balances scales filled with colorful fruits. With vibrant cries echoing through Russell Square, he calls out to potential customers with enthusiasm and determination. The image not only offers a glimpse into everyday life during the early 19th century but also highlights the diversity and vibrancy that characterized Britain's capital city at that time. The street vendor's profession was one among many thriving trades that contributed to London's dynamic atmosphere. As we admire this engraving from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back in time to witness an era when men like our rhubarb seller played vital roles in shaping urban culture and commerce. Their presence on every corner added color and flavor to daily life while providing essential goods for their fellow Londoners. This photograph serves as a reminder of how history can be preserved through art, allowing us to appreciate both the past achievements and present heritage of our beloved city
