The engraving beautifully portrays the strength and resilience of the water carrier, who plays an essential role in ensuring that people have access to clean drinking water. In a time before modern plumbing systems, individuals like him were relied upon to deliver this precious resource to homes and businesses.
The artist has skillfully captured the intricate details of his attire and surroundings, transporting us back in time to witness this important aspect of Mexican society. This piece serves as both a historical document and a work of art, showcasing the talent and craftsmanship of 19th-century illustrators.
