Painting Description
"Turnips and Carrots Ho, plate 13 of The Cries of London," is a distinguished work engraved by Thomas Gaugain (1748-1812) and published by Colnaghi & Co. in 1797, based on the original painting by Francis Wheatley. This piece is part of Wheatley's renowned series, "The Cries of London," which vividly captures the essence of street vendors and their cries, a common scene in 18th-century London. The series is celebrated for its historical value, offering insights into the social and economic life of the period, as well as its artistic merit.
Francis Wheatley (1747-1801), an English painter, meticulously documented the vibrancy and diversity of London's street traders, making "The Cries of London" one of his most famous works. Each plate in the series portrays a different vendor, with "Turnips and Carrots Ho" specifically focusing on the sale of these root vegetables. The scene is brought to life through Gaugain's masterful engraving, which preserves the detail and sentiment of Wheatley's original painting.
Thomas Gaugain, a French-born engraver who spent much of his career in England, was known for his ability to capture the nuances of paintings in his engravings. His collaboration with Wheatley on "The Cries of London" series allowed for the wider dissemination of Wheatley's work, contributing significantly to both artists' reputations.
Published by Colnaghi & Co., a prominent art dealership and publishing house in London, "Turnips and Carrots Ho" and the rest of the series enjoyed considerable popularity. The works were not only artistic achievements but also served as valuable records of the urban landscape and its inhabitants, reflecting the social realities of the time.
Today, "Turnips and Carrots Ho, plate 13 of The Cries of London," remains an important piece of British art history, appreciated for its artistic quality and documentary value. It stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of Wheatley and Gaugain, and a window into the lively street culture of 18th-century London.
