"London Cries: Any Cotton Laces or Garters?" is a notable 1742 watercolor painting by the British artist Paul Sandby, who is recognized as one of the founders of English watercolor painting. The artwork is part of a series that depicts the street vendors of 18th-century London, showcasing the vibrant urban culture and the lives of common people during the period. Sandby's work is characterized by its attention to detail, capturing the essence of the city's bustling streets and the diverse characters that populated them.

The painting portrays a street vendor, known as a "crier," who is calling out to sell cotton laces and garters, items commonly peddled in the streets of London at the time. The crier is typically depicted in mid-call, with a basket of goods either carried or set down beside them, as they attempt to attract the attention of potential customers. Sandby's depiction is not only a representation of the economic activity of the era but also serves as a social commentary on the working conditions and the lives of the lower classes in the city.

Paul Sandby's "London Cries" series, including "Any Cotton Laces or Garters?", is significant for its documentary value, providing historians and art enthusiasts with a window into the daily life of 18th-century London. The series is praised for its documentary realism and the artist's skillful use of watercolor to convey the vibrancy and energy of the urban environment. Sandby's work is held in high esteem for its contribution to the development of British landscape and genre painting, and "Any Cotton Laces or Garters?" is a prime example of his mastery in capturing the spirit of his time.
