This engraving titled "Rat catcher" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a skilled tradesman in action. The print captures a moment frozen in time, depicting an English rat catcher with his trusty canine companion by his side. Dressed impeccably in formal attire complete with a top hat, the rat catcher exudes an air of professionalism and expertise. His determined gaze suggests that he is fully focused on his task at hand - ridding the area of pesky rodents. In one hand, he carries a cage, ready to capture any unsuspecting rats that cross his path. The small dog standing loyally beside him adds an endearing touch to this scene. Perhaps it serves as both a faithful companion and assistant in tracking down these elusive creatures. This artwork provides us with insight into the world of pest control during this era when rat infestations were common problems faced by communities. Rat catchers played an essential role in maintaining public health and safety. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, this engraving transports us back to a time where such professions were highly valued for their contribution towards society's well-being. It serves as a reminder of our historical roots while also highlighting the importance of various trades throughout history.
