Légende

Heralds of Spring, 1881. Children and flower-seller. 'Once more the season has come round when, in the midst of the busy, toiling city, comes a cry that carries us away from brick and mortar, dust and smoke, to quiet country lanes, and purling streams, and banks "whereon the wild thyme blows." London cries, as a rule, are not much like angel voices, and are scarcely such as to lull one back into dreams of innocence and childhood; yet who has not been refreshed, while passing through the busy streets, with hearing the simple words, "Violets, sweet violets!" and "Primroses, fresh gathered!"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
