EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two Bunches a Penny, Primroses, Two Bunches a Penny" takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. Created by artists Francis Wheatley and Luigi Schiavonetti in 1929, this illustration is part of The Cries of London series featured in the Apollo Volume X. In this scene, we see a young female street seller adorned in traditional attire with an apron and carrying a basket filled with vibrant primroses. Her occupation as a flower seller was common during that era when people relied on street traders for their daily needs. A loyal dog accompanies her on her trade route through the colorful lanes and avenues of London. The image beautifully captures the essence of nature amidst the urban landscape. The delicate flowers contrast against the backdrop of bustling activity, reminding us to appreciate the simple beauty found even in busy city life. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to an era where women like her played an important role in sustaining livelihoods while adding charm to everyday scenes. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that showcases Britain's rich cultural heritage. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, "Two Bunches a Penny, Primroses" invites us to reflect upon our connection with nature and appreciate those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring joy into our lives through their tradesmanship.
