EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a London Milk Woman from the 19th century, as she gracefully carries milk in pewter pails suspended from a wooden yoke. The vessels hanging from the pails are of various official capacities, meticulously tested and stamped by authorities to ensure accurate measures for her customers.
In the background, a pyramid of beautifully decorated vessels adorned with ribbons and flowers is being carried through the bustling streets of London. This scene is accompanied by a fiddler, reviving an ancient custom for the first few days of May each year.
The image not only showcases the agricultural practices and farming traditions of that era but also provides a glimpse into British culture and history. William Henry Pyne's intricate aquatint illustration from "Costume of Great Britain" (1808) truly brings this moment to life.
As we admire this vertical composition filled with young women in traditional attire, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when daily tasks were carried out with grace and precision. This stunning piece from Bridgeman Images is more than just a visual representation - it's a window into a bygone era that continues to fascinate us today.
