Byers' Choice African American The Cries of London
Named for their vocal means of advertising,
pictures of the "Cries of London" date back as early as the 1500's. Each
vendor specialized in peddling a specific product or service on the streets of
town. Everything from bread to produce to coal and matches could be
purchased from these boisterous characters. One particular "crier" in 19th
Century London could even be hired to rid your Home Page of rats. Vendors would
often deliver their sales pitch in the form of a poem or song in order to gather
more attention. The sales of each individual's goods or services depended
heavily upon the quality and volume of is or her "cry." Rhymes such as Hot
Cross Buns can be attributed to these colorful individuals.
