EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Any Kitchin Stuffe have you maids, Cries of London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century England. Created by the talented artist Pierce Tempest, this etching showcases a unique profession that was prevalent during that era. In this scene, we see a lady dressed in traditional clothing and wearing an apron, representing her occupation as a collector of kitchen fat. With remarkable balance and skill, she carries a tub on her head while navigating through the busy streets of London. The monochrome effect adds depth to the image, emphasizing the historical significance it holds. The Cries of London series depicted various street sellers and their distinctive calls or cries as they went about their daily business. This particular artwork captures not only the essence of street life but also highlights lesser-known professions from centuries ago. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece by Marcellus Laroon I (also known as Old Laroon) offers us a glimpse into an era where women played crucial roles in different trades. It serves as a reminder of how occupations have evolved over time. As we admire this fascinating snapshot frozen in time, let's appreciate the craftsmanship behind it and acknowledge its contribution to our understanding of 17th-century England's vibrant street culture.
