If you were about to sail across the Atlantic for the British American colonies from 1640 London, these are a few street vendors you may have encountered on the way to the wharf. Diarist Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was interested in the street vendors depicted in a variety of Cries of London images. He collected these prints which still exist in his library, some 3,000 volumes, preserved at Cambridge. These images are believed to date from aroung 1640. Pepys described them as “A later Sett, in Wood – with the Words also then in use.”
