Watering the Streets - A Scene of Everyday Life in 19th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Watering the Streets, Little Boy at the Crossing," transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London during the early 19th century. The image is composed of three distinct yet interconnected scenes, each showcasing the daily routines and trades of the city's inhabitants. In the foreground, a waterman spreads water on the streets in front of a butcher's shop, ensuring the cobblestones remain wet to prevent horses from slipping. Nearby, a little boy, dressed in a short jacket and trousers, lays down a board for a man to cross the street safely, dropping a halfpenny into the boy's hat as a token of gratitude. Further down the street, a flowerpot man sells his blooms from a cart drawn by a donkey. The vibrant colors of the flowers contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the cityscape, adding a touch of nature to the urban landscape. The print also features a variety of other intriguing details. A ticket porter stands near the coachstand, ready to assist travelers as they alight from their carriages. A fresh dairy cow and her attendant can be seen in the background, while a couple with children admire the scene from a nearby window. This woodcut print, created by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of London during the early 19th century. It is a testament to the rich history and diverse trades that once thrived in the city, and serves as an excellent educational resource for those interested in the history, geography, and culture of England's capital. The print, reminiscent of the works of Ann Taylor, Jane Harvey, and other renowned children's book illustrators and writers of the time, is a romantic and poetic portrayal of London life. It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in travel, tourism, or the history of England.
