EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of daily life in 18th century London. Titled "John Hunt, Nightman and Rubbish Carter, near the Wagon and Horses in Goswell Street" this engraving showcases two hardworking individuals dedicated to their trade. In the foreground, we see John Hunt, a nightman responsible for collecting night soil or human waste from households. With his sturdy cart by his side, he navigates through the bustling streets of London with determination etched on his face. Beside him stands Rubbish Carter, another essential figure in keeping the city clean. Together, they form an integral part of waste management services during that era. The scene is set near Mount Mill on Goswell Street - a location teeming with activity and commerce. The wagon parked nearby serves as a reminder of how crucial these workers were to maintaining cleanliness amidst urban chaos. This image offers us a glimpse into an often overlooked aspect of history - the unsung heroes who dealt with garbage disposal long before modern systems came into play. It reminds us that even mundane tasks like waste collection played a vital role in shaping society's overall well-being. Preserved within The Stapleton Collection, this small yet impactful print allows us to appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth by individuals like John Hunt and Rubbish Carter centuries ago. Their commitment to their trade resonates across time as we reflect upon our own relationship with waste management today.
