EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Carters, c early 19th century" takes us back in time to a bygone era of rural life in Britain. The image showcases two carters, each with their distinct attire and tools of the trade. One carter is dressed in a traditional smock while the other dons a coat and gaiters, both carrying their whips with an air of authority. In the background, we catch sight of a covered carters wagon and three milkmaids going about their daily tasks. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the interconnectedness of various occupations during this period - road transport relying on horse-drawn vehicles alongside those responsible for milking cows. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element within the frame tells its own story. From the clothes they wear to the hats atop their heads, these men exude professionalism and dedication to their craft. Similarly, the women are depicted in modest dresses that reflect their role as milkmaids. Printed in monochrome, this engraving transports us back to nineteenth-century Britain when such scenes were commonplace. Although created by an unknown artist or photographer, it captures not only people's jobs but also provides insight into society at that time. This print serves as a valuable historical artifact allowing us to appreciate how transportation and agriculture were intertwined during this period while shedding light on forgotten professions like carting and milkmaid work.
