EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the bustling streets of a bygone era, as depicted in this vibrant colour lithograph by Ferdinand Raffin. The scene showcases the tireless efforts of workers dedicated to maintaining cleanliness and order in their community. In the foreground, a lorry filled with refuse collection carts stands ready for action. Dustmen clad in work attire can be seen diligently sweeping the streets, armed with brooms and dustpans. Their presence adds a sense of purpose and vitality to an otherwise ordinary morning. The image highlights the importance of sanitation and waste management during this time period. These unsung heroes, often referred to as dustbinmen or rubbish men, play a crucial role in keeping our surroundings clean and hygienic. Raffin's attention to detail is evident throughout the print – from the intricate brushstrokes that bring life to each figure on the street to his masterful use of color that infuses energy into every corner of this urban landscape. This artwork serves as a reminder that behind every clean cityscape lies countless hours of hard work performed by dedicated individuals like these street sweepers. It invites us to appreciate their contribution while also reflecting on how far we have come in terms of waste management practices today.
