(1747–1801) and first published as engravings by Colnaghi \u0026amp; Co. in the 1790s. The series became one of the most widely reproduced depictions of everyday London life, capturing itinerant sellers and tradespeople going about their trade in the city's streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large hand-coloured example is a later engraved edition of the same composition, engraved by Jam. Alprandi and published by Colnaghi \u0026amp; Co. at 132 Pall Mall, London, dated 2 January 1814. It depicts a knife-grinder at his wheel bargaining with a woman over a blade, set within a shadowed London doorway — a scene that captures the informal trades that once filled the city's streets. The print is titled in both English and French, \"Couteaux, Ciseaux, Rasoirs a repasser,\" reflecting the series' popularity with continental as well as British collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 21 x 26 inches (framed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Hand-coloured engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: \"Cries of London,\" Plate 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal artist: Francis Wheatley R.A.
