EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled ""I'll give you eighteenpence for them"" transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. This intriguing artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, captures a moment of everyday life that is both charming and thought-provoking. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a bustling street market where a flower seller stands with his vibrant array of blooms. A potential customer approaches him, their face filled with curiosity and intrigue. The dialogue between the two characters unfolds through the title itself: "I'll give you eighteenpence for them". It sparks our imagination as we wonder about the significance of this exchange. The delicate lines and intricate details in this engraving bring forth a sense of nostalgia and evoke feelings of warmth and simplicity. The composition draws our attention to the beauty of nature's creations – the flowers – juxtaposed against the backdrop of urban life. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers us insights into historical customs such as bartering or haggling over prices. It reminds us that even in simpler times, commerce played an essential role in society. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded once again that art has the power to transport us across time and space while igniting our imagination with stories waiting to be told.
