Old London Street Cries and the Cries of To-day With Heaps of Quaint Cuts Including Hand-coloured Frontispiece

"Old London Street Cries and the Cries of To-day" by Andrew White Tuer is a late 1800s book narrating London's vibrant past through the fading sounds of its streets. The story opens with the importance of London street cries, using poetry to demonstrate the once common cries such as vendors of ripe strawberries and tasty pastries. The story offers a glimpse into the city's historical marketplace by bringing to life the actual cries of London vendors. The book presents a compilation of these sounds in a nostalgic way and how these sounds mirror old London's culture.
