EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Rat catchers" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of a city. The image showcases an urban scene filled with intriguing characters and their unique tools. In the foreground, we see a seasoned rat catcher, his face weathered by years of experience. He stands tall, holding a trap firmly in his hands as he prepares for another day's work. Beside him is an eager young apprentice, likely his son or protégé. The boy watches intently, absorbing every detail and technique from his mentor. The setting exudes a sense of urgency and purpose as rats scurry about in the background. This print transports us to an era when vermin control was paramount for maintaining public health and safety. The artist skillfully captures the camaraderie between these two generations of rat catchers – one passing down knowledge to ensure that this vital trade continues on. It is evident that this apprenticeship holds great importance not only for the livelihoods of these individuals but also for society at large. Through this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of the resilience and resourcefulness required to tackle challenges within our urban environments throughout history.
