Sketches at Gibraltar, 1876. Creator: Unknown
Sketches at Gibraltar, 1876. Engraving from a sketch by...a valued correspondent and amateur artist, Major W. O. Carlile, R.A...Eggs; Chickens; Milkman; Water Carriers; Spanish Caleche; Spanish Women returning from Market; Jews and Jewesses; Dustman...The popular sellers of nuts, gingerbread, and sweetmeats are seen here walking about or crouching in a cool corner...The sale of eggs, of milk, and of poultry, is of course an important local traffic; the milk is that of goats, belonging to Maltese, who lead those animals to the consumer's house door, just as they do at Valetta; the cheapest eggs and chickens are brought over from the African shore. The water supply of the town and barracks is pumped up by steam-engines and machinery erected on the neutral ground, as the Rock admits but few wells, and the rainfall does not fill the cisterns enough'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

Sketches at Gibraltar, 1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing engraving that offers a glimpse into the bustling daily life of this strategic Mediterranean outpost during the 19th century. The creator of the original sketch is unknown, but it was faithfully reproduced in the prestigious "Illustrated London News" and later published by The Print Collector. The scene unfolds on a dusty street, where various trades and occupations come together. A horse-drawn carriage, or Spanish caleche, makes its way through the crowd, while a donkey and ass carry heavy loads. Vendors sell eggs, milk, and poultry, with Maltese goat herders bringing their animals to consumers' doorsteps. Water carriers, or bhistis, balance large earthen jars on their heads, while women return from the market with their purchases. The popular sellers of nuts, gingerbread, and sweetmeats can be seen walking about or crouching in the shade. The sale of eggs, milk, and poultry is an essential local traffic, with the cheapest produce brought over from the African shore. The water supply of the town and barracks is pumped up by steam-engines and machinery erected on the neutral ground, as Gibraltar admits but few wells, and the rainfall does not fill the cisterns enough. This snapshot of Gibraltar's diverse population, including Arabs, Jews, and Britons, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of this multicultural and historic European outpost. The engraving's intricate details and rich composition make it a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art and social history.
