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: "Do You Want Any Matches?, Marchande d'Allumettes, Achette mes bonns Allumetes?", Plate No. 4, engraved by Sam. Aliprandi and published in 1812.
"Do You Want Any Matches?" depicts a young woman, holding matches in her hand, standing in profile looking to her left (the right of the scene) and back towards the viewer. A small boy is with her in the street also carrying matches in his hand and in a small basket. A dog is present in front of the pair with a carriage and buildings 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 minimal discoloration in the margins, but it is otherwise in very good condition. less
