After Marcellus Laroon.

[The Cryes of the City of London Drawne after the Life.]

7 x 10"

Set of six etchings after Marcellus Laroon, published by Henry Overton in London in 1711.

This series of portraits of London's urban poor was first published by Pierce Tempest (whose name appears on the plates) in 1688. The BM describes Laroon's 'Cryes' as ''the most interesting series of prints of this period''.
