EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Dogcart, Antwerp, 1898" captures a moment in time from the late 19th century. Taken by the talented artist James Batkin as part of his book documenting Holland and Belgium, this image showcases an intriguing scene of everyday life. In the foreground stands a dogcart, a unique form of transportation commonly used during that era. The dogcart is loaded with various items placed in a barrow-like basket attached to it. A woman can be seen standing beside it, possibly its owner or handler. On the other side of the cart stands a young boy, presumably assisting with its operation. The setting appears to be a quiet street in Antwerp, Belgium. The road stretches ahead into the distance while quaint houses line both sides. This snapshot provides us with glimpses of Victorian fashion worn by both men and women passing by on foot. James Batkin's monochrome composition beautifully captures not only the physical elements but also conveys an essence of daily life during this period. It serves as a reminder of how people relied on animal-powered transport before modern advancements took over. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection curated by James Batkin himself, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and human-animal collaboration was essential for survival.
