London : Richard Phillips, 1804. A charming antique print - a barrow-woman cries her cherries in front of St. James's Palace. The cherries sold on the streets were usually the plentiful Kentish variety, followed in the summer season by the small black cherries known as blackaroons. The cry was usually "Cherries, Full Weight" - the scales seen above the barrow were notoriously unreliable. Other and more expensive varieties like the early season May Duke could only be had from the markets and shops. Engraved from an original study by William Marshall Craig (fl.1788-1828), water-colour painter to Queen Charlotte. Originally produced for Phillips' part-work "Modern London : Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" (London : 1804).
