EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'A Knocker-Up, Victorian Period,' is a captivating glimpse into the past, brought to us by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back to an era long gone, the Victorian and Edwardian eras, where traditions and ways of life were vastly different from our modern world. The photograph depicts a knocker-up, a person who would go around waking up early-rising workers before the advent of alarm clocks. He is seen carrying a lantern, making his way through a dimly lit, quiet street, likely in the early hours of the morning. The lantern, with its warm, golden glow, casts an ethereal light on the cobblestone street, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The Victorian and Edwardian periods were marked by their strict social norms and routines. The knocker-up was an essential part of this routine, ensuring that workers arrived at their jobs on time. The photograph captures the dedication and hard work of this humble worker, who played a vital role in the daily lives of many. The image also showcases the vintage charm of the era, with its old, weathered buildings, horse-drawn carts, and traditional clothing. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simplicity and authenticity of life during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a work of art, capturing the essence of a bygone era. It is a testament to the rich history and culture of the past, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
