Fine Turkey Rhubarb! A Taste of 19th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph from the mid-1800s, titled "Fine Turkey Rhubarb! Cries of London" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Victorian England. The artist, TH Jones, skillfully captures a vibrant scene where a man eagerly purchases rhubarb from a street seller. Set against the backdrop of Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London, this colorful print showcases the daily life and occupations that shaped the city during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable – from the intricate patterns on umbrellas to the expressions on people's faces as they go about their business. The cries of street sellers were an integral part of urban life at that time. Here, we witness one such vendor passionately promoting his fresh produce - rhubarb imported all the way from Turkey. This image not only highlights trade and commerce but also reflects society's fascination with exotic goods. As we observe this snapshot in time, it becomes evident that buying and selling was not just an economic activity but also a social event. Men like our protagonist played crucial roles in shaping local economies while providing essential services to their communities. Through this evocative artwork by TH Jones, we are transported back to 19th century London – its sights, sounds, and flavors. It serves as a testament to both historical advertising techniques and everyday life in one of Europe's most vibrant cities during an exciting period of change and growth.
