A quietly charming glimpse into everyday London life, this framed colour stipple engraving from Francis Wheatley’s celebrated Cries of London series captures the scene titled “New Mackrel, New Mackrel.” Dating back to the 1790s, the artwork portrays a fishwife mid-sale, offering fresh mackerel to women gathered at a doorstep—an intimate moment of routine, trade, and conversation.

Engraved by the Schiavonetti brothers after Wheatley’s original composition, the piece is characteristic of the series’ warmth and attention to detail, documenting the street vendors and voices that defined 18th-century London. The soft hand-colouring and delicate stipple technique lend it a painterly quality, while the subject itself feels timeless—an ode to everyday rituals that continue to shape city life.

Beautifully mounted and framed, this print makes for a layered addition to a space—historical, narrative, and quietly evocative.
