Francis Wheatley (1747-1801) created the "Cries of London" images of street sellers that – are his best work.  Born in Covent Garden,Wheatley was qualified to portray these hawkers because he grew up amongst them and their cries, echoing in the streets around the market. Wheatley worked with his engravers who created the prints which brought recognition for his “Cries of London,” as the most beautiful and most popular series of prints on this subject of all time.Wheatley's series was immensely popular and enjoyed a long period of success in the English print shops.
