EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing trade card of Henry Hastings, Nightman. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the unique profession of nightmen during that era. The image depicts Henry Hastings, a dedicated worker who braved the dark streets of London to collect refuse and filth from households. With his trusty cart and specialized cleaning machine, he diligently carried out his duties in Southwark, one of London's bustling districts. The scene is filled with details that transport us back in time - piles of rubbish waiting to be cleared away, carts overflowing with dirt and debris. Despite the challenging nature of his work, Henry stands tall and proud as he goes about his nightly tasks. This trade card not only serves as an advertisement for Henry's services but also reflects the importance placed on cleanliness during this period. It reminds us how vital individuals like him were in maintaining hygiene standards within cities. As we gaze upon this historic print from Fine Art Finder's Peter Jackson Collection, we are reminded of the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our urban environments clean. Let it serve as a tribute to their dedication and hard work that often went unnoticed but played a significant role in shaping our modern world.
