EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century Paris on a rainy day. The image captures a unique occupation that was common during this era - a carrier ferrying a woman across the flooded street. Published in 1875, this illustration is part of the renowned book "XVIII Siecle Institutions, Usages Et Costumes" which provides valuable insights into French society at that time. The scene depicts an industrious carrier with his piggyback-style method of transportation, bravely navigating through the waterlogged city streets. Despite the challenging conditions, he skillfully carries a woman on his back, ensuring her safe passage to her destination. This job was typical for carriers who were often relied upon during floods or heavy rains when conventional means of transport were rendered ineffective. The image not only showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of these workers but also offers a glimpse into everyday life in 18th century Paris. It highlights how people adapted to their surroundings and found innovative solutions to overcome obstacles presented by nature. Ken Welsh's expertly captured photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by individuals living in this historical period. It serves as a reminder of how occupations have evolved over centuries while showcasing the rich history and culture of France's capital city.
