Pescaor— plate 32
The Arti che vanno per via nella città di Venezia (1753, 1770, 1785, etc.), by Gaetano Zompini (1700–1778), contains sixty engravings of common, mostly poor people, peddling their trades on the streets of Venice in the mid-1700s.

Text
In sti canestri gho del pesse aposta Da poco prezzo per la povertae, Che in pescaria se vende quel che costa.
Translation
In these baskets, I have some fish
At a low price for the poor,
Because at the fish market they sell what costs.
Notes
Apparently, the street fishmonger was cheaper than at the market, maybe because the fish would be less fresh.
