EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of a milk-girl, in Belgian traditional dress; besides, a cart pull by dogs and a guard" transports us back to the early 20th century. Taken between 1890-1910, it offers a glimpse into the daily life of an adolescent milk-girl in Belgium. Dressed in her exquisite traditional attire, the young girl stands proudly beside a cart pulled by loyal dogs. A watchful guard accompanies her on this journey through the cobbled streets. The image beautifully captures both the physiological and psychological aspects of adolescence as she navigates her responsibilities with grace. Intriguingly, we see elements of law enforcement intertwined within this scene. A police officer is present, highlighting the importance of public administration during that era. His uniform exudes authority while blending seamlessly with the military-inspired clothing worn by others around him. The milk-girl's costume showcases intricate details such as a cap or bonnet adorning her head along with an ethnic shawl draped over her shoulders. These accessories add depth to her portrait and provide insight into cultural traditions prevalent at that time. The presence of a wheelbarrow signifies transportation methods used for delivering goods across land during this period. It serves as both container and object necessary for fulfilling her work duties. This remarkable photograph was captured by P. Z. , belonging to Photoglob & Co. , renowned for their exceptional visual documentation throughout history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back to an era where tradition met modernity on bustling European streets.
