A beautifully framed hand-colored engraving from the famous "Cries of London" series, depicting the lives and professions of the common people of 18th century London, who worked the streets, hawking their wares. This engraving from the series "Cries of London", originally painted by Francis Wheatley, was published by Colnaghi & Co. in London. It is entitled: "Turnips & Carrots, Carottes & Navets", Plate No. 13, engraved by Thomas Gaugain, published in 1797.
"Turnips & Carrots" depicts a woman on the right who is holding a bunch of turnips standing next to a donkey loaded with baskets of turnips and carrots. A boy stands to the donkey's right (on the left of the scene) and London buildings are present on the right and in the background.
This engraving is presented in a decorative gold-colored wood frame. The frame measures 20.5" x 16.38" x .88". There is moderate discoloration in the margins of "Turnips and Carrots", particularly in the right lower corner. It is otherwise in very good condition. less
