EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of a dog-drawn milk cart in the heart of Brussels, Belgium, circa 1910s. The scene transports us to an era when animals were an integral part of daily life and transportation. Two strong and determined dogs, harnessed to the cart, pull it through the cobblestone streets with unwavering focus. The milkmaid, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully manages the reins and can, ensuring a smooth delivery. The milk cart, adorned with spoked wheels and a bonnet, adds to the vintage charm of the photograph. A policeman, keeping a watchful eye, adds a sense of order to the bustling Brussels streets. The dogs' teamwork and the milkmaid's dedication to her task are a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the community during this period. This photograph, from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the unusual yet common sight of dog-drawn milk carts that once graced the streets of Brussels. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the city's cultural identity.
