"A New Love Song, Only Hapenny a Piece" is the eleventh plate in the series "The Cries of London," which is a collection of prints depicting various street vendors of London during the late 18th century. The series was painted by Francis Wheatley (1747–1801), an English portrait and landscape painter, and engraved by Anthony Cardon (1772–1813), a Flemish engraver who worked in England. Published by Colnaghi & Co. in 1796, this particular plate captures the essence of London's vibrant street life through the portrayal of a song seller, a common sight in the city at the time.

The image is a testament to Wheatley's keen observation and ability to render the everyday lives of ordinary Londoners with dignity and charm. The song seller, likely a peddler, is depicted offering his ballads for a halfpenny each, highlighting the accessibility of popular culture and entertainment among the working and lower classes. The series, including "A New Love Song, Only Hapenny a Piece," was well-received for its picturesque quality and the detailed representation of the subjects' attire, expressions, and the urban setting.

Wheatley's "The Cries of London" not only serves as an artistic accomplishment but also provides valuable historical insight into the social fabric and economy of London at the turn of the 19th century. The series is considered one of Wheatley's most significant works and is highly regarded for its contribution to the genre of genre painting, which focuses on scenes of everyday life.
