"The Cries of London: Five Plates" is a notable series of prints created by the English painter and engraver Francis Wheatley (1747–1801). This collection is part of a larger series known as "The Cries of London," which vividly captures the street vendors of 18th-century London, each engaged in their daily activities and vocally advertising their goods. Wheatley's work is celebrated for its detailed and sympathetic portrayal of these street sellers, providing a unique glimpse into the everyday life and commerce of the period.

Francis Wheatley, an accomplished artist of his time, was known for his skill in both painting and engraving. He was a member of the Royal Academy and his works often depicted scenes of rural and urban life with a keen eye for detail and a compassionate perspective on his subjects. "The Cries of London" series, produced between 1792 and 1795, is among his most famous works and consists of a total of thirteen plates. The five plates in question are part of this larger collection and exemplify Wheatley's ability to combine artistic finesse with social commentary.

Each plate in "The Cries of London" series features a different vendor, ranging from flower sellers to fishmongers, each depicted in a naturalistic and engaging manner. The prints are notable for their vibrant colors, intricate details, and the expressive faces of the vendors, which convey a sense of their personalities and the hardships of their lives. Wheatley's work not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a historical document, offering insights into the economic and social conditions of London during the late 18th century.

The series was highly popular in its time and has continued to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value. It reflects Wheatley's talent in capturing the essence of everyday life and his ability to bring to light the often-overlooked aspects of urban existence. "The Cries of London: Five Plates" remains a significant contribution to the genre of social realism in art and continues to be studied and admired for its detailed and humane portrayal of London's street vendors.
