The Gentle Author assembles a choice selection of CRIES OF LONDON,
telling the stories of the artists and celebrated traders, and
revealing the unexpected social realities contained within these
cheap colourful prints produced for the mass market.For centuries,
these lively images of familiar hawkers and pedlars have been
treasured by Londoners. In the capital, those who had no other
means of income could always sell wares in the street and, by
turning their presence into performance through song, they won the
hearts of generations and came to embody the spirit of London
itself.
