EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving, titled "Rubbish Collection" takes us back to 19th-century London. The bustling street scene captures the essence of daily life in the city, with its diverse cast of characters and trades. In the foreground, a determined dustman navigates his cart through the busy streets, collecting rubbish from households along his route. His presence is announced by the ringing bell attached to his cart, drawing attention from passersby. The horses pulling the cart add an element of movement and energy to the composition. The print offers a glimpse into an important aspect of commerce during this period - waste management and recycling. It serves as a reminder that even in earlier times, people recognized the value in disposing of rubbish responsibly. The artist skillfully captures various details within this lively scene - from architectural elements such as buildings lining both sides of the street to everyday objects like baskets filled with discarded items waiting for collection. "Rubbish Collection" is part of Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection held privately but made accessible through Bridgeman Images. This artwork not only showcases historical trade practices but also invites viewers to reflect on how societies have evolved in their approach towards waste management over time.
