EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century, titled "Waterman in Doggetts coat and badge" offers a glimpse into the world of river transportation during that era. The anonymous artist skillfully captures the essence of this waterman's profession, showcasing his distinctive uniform with great attention to detail. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to the scene, highlighting not only the waterman but also the picturesque river backdrop. The boat itself is meticulously depicted, reflecting both its historical significance and functional design. As we peer into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that being a waterman was more than just a job; it was an esteemed occupation rooted in tradition. The Doggetts coat and badge worn by our subject symbolize membership in an exclusive guildhall community dedicated to river transport. While exact dating remains uncertain (circa 1860), this artwork stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of these skilled individuals who navigated London's rivers with expertise and finesse. It serves as a reminder of how vital water transport was for trade and travel during that time period. Preserved within Guildhall Library Art Gallery's collection, this lithograph provides us with valuable insights into an important facet of London's past.
