Adams Cries of London

• Pattern Description
  Series ‘Cries of London’ reflected certain nostalgia of the eighteenth century. Introduced in the late 1920s, Cries is based upon the Frances Wheatley prints depicting various eighteenth century London street vendors hawking their wares. The originals were exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1791 and 1795. Adams used thirteen of the prints which sold well at home and overseas and were admired by the Royal Family even being purchased by Her Majesty Queen Mary.
  
  The Leda border on ‘Cries of London’ originated with the J.Meir & Son pattern ‘Leader.’ After 1896, the engraving came into Adams’ possession and was renamed Leda. The lustered Leda border became standard on Cries of London after World War II. The marriage of Wheatley print engravings and the Leda border with or without a luster (usually with smack green bands), and muted colours was an artistic triumph on earthenware. This Adams series sold well, production ceasing only about 1982.
