"Plate 4: four street vendors from Madrid selling Albillas, radishes, carbon" from 'Los Gritos de Madrid' (The Cries of Madrid), an etching and aquatint by Miguel Gamborino, depicts four street vendors in the city of Madrid, each selling a different good. The four figures include a woman selling albillas, a woman selling radishes, a young boy carrying a sack on his back, and a man who is leading a donkey carrying a load of charcoal. This print was part of a series of prints that captured the cries of the street vendors in Madrid, depicting the everyday life in the city at the turn of the 19th century. The print is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
