EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming engraving captures the quaint and picturesque scene of watering the streets in Alpine towns during the 19th century. The image, originally featured in "Fun in the Animal World" publication from London in 1897, showcases a humorous take on daily life in these idyllic mountain villages.
In the foreground, we see a group of cows being led through the cobblestone streets by their caretakers. A wooden barrel filled with water is being used to sprinkle and clean up the dusty roads, adding a touch of whimsy to this everyday task. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the bustling cityscape with its charming buildings and lively atmosphere.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this nostalgic scene, transporting viewers back to a simpler time when cleanliness was maintained with traditional methods. The presence of beer barrels hints at local customs and traditions that were prevalent in these alpine communities.
Overall, this print exudes a sense of fun and enjoyment as people go about their daily routines amidst stunning mountain scenery. It serves as a delightful reminder of days gone by and offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Alpine towns in the 19th century.
