Although there were versions of the "Cries of London" created for centuries, the most well known and popular was this series, created by Francis Wheatley. Wheatley exhibited his 14 paintings of the "Cries" at the Royal Academy between 1792 and 1795. These colorful prints give a glimpse of 18th century London's commoners, the peddlers, charlatans, street hawkers, milkmaids, and grocers who made their living on the city streets. They advertised their wares with musical shouts or melodic rhymes, which were a constant part of the sights and sounds of the city at that time. Wheatley grew up in Covent Garden among the hawkers with their cries echoing in the streets around the market. Wheatley's wife served as the model for the women in several of the scenes.
