EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Smithfield drover with dog" by William Alexander depicts a licensed drover and his faithful canine companion. The drover, identified by the license number on his sleeve badge, was responsible for herding sheep and cattle from Islington to the bustling market in London's Smithfield district. The image showcases the rich tradition of livestock trade and agriculture during this era. The man is dressed in traditional costume, reflecting the societal norms and profession of the time. His collie dog stands faithfully at his side, serving as a guard and companion throughout their arduous journey. The hand-colored copperplate engraving captures not only the essence of early 19th-century England but also provides insight into European customs and manners. It is part of Jean-Baptiste Eyries' comprehensive work on England's costumes, manners, and mores. This print offers a glimpse into an era where business enterprises thrived through goods transport and free trade practices. The attention to detail in depicting various wildlife animals such as cattle adds depth to this agricultural scene. Overall, this enchanting artwork serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Its inclusion in private collections further highlights its value as a cherished piece that encapsulates centuries-old traditions within Europe's farming communities.
