EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Drainage Tools, 1803, Pass," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovative implements used for modern drainage systems during the early 19th century. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a community that placed great importance on ensuring a consistent and reliable water supply. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with a group of laborers working diligently to install a drainage system. The tools they use are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time. In the foreground, a man operates a "pass," a device used to dig and remove soil while maintaining a consistent depth. The pass consists of a long, flat blade attached to a handle, which the worker pushes back and forth to excavate the trench. To the right, another laborer uses a shovel to remove the excavated soil, while a third man stands nearby, ready to transport it away. In the background, a horse-drawn cart waits to carry the soil to a nearby disposal site. The laborers wear simple yet practical clothing, reflecting the physical demands of their work. The print also reveals the intricate network of drainage pipes and channels that crisscross the landscape. These systems were essential for removing excess water from agricultural lands, preventing flooding, and ensuring that the community had access to a reliable water supply. This image not only provides a window into the past but also highlights the importance of community cooperation and the ingenuity of early drainage systems. It serves as a reminder of the critical role that water management plays in our daily lives and the advancements that have been made over the centuries to ensure a consistent and reliable water supply.
