Pictures of Covent Garden from the City of Westminster Archives
By Nigel T Espey
This picture is from the 'Street Cries' series by William Marshall Craig. The series is called 'Street Cries' because the title of the pictures are the words that traders would have shouted to advertise their goods. A small number of North African Jews in London made a living selling rhubarb and spices. 1804.
