This photo print, titled "Water carrier, 1808" captures a vivid snapshot of life in 19th century Britain. Created by the talented artist William Henry Pyne as part of his renowned series "The Costume of Great Britain" this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily routines and occupations of the time. In this scene, we see a registered water carrier numbered 198 diligently fulfilling his duty. With wooden buckets filled to the brim with water from a nearby source, he stands proudly against an idyllic backdrop where hackney cab drivers tend to their horses' thirst. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical moment to life. Dressed in traditional English attire, complete with an apron and carrying pails effortlessly on both arms, this male water carrier exemplifies dedication and hard work. His occupation was crucial for providing clean drinking water to communities during that era. William Henry Pyne's aquatint technique beautifully captures every nuance of this scene – from the man's determined expression to the bustling activity surrounding him.
