EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the mid-19th century showcases a scene of daily life in rural England. Titled "WELL, 19th CENTURY. The Well" the print depicts a charming country setting with an old-fashioned well as its focal point. A young girl, dressed in a simple apron and accompanied by her siblings, is engaged in the task of fetching water for their family's needs. The image transports us to a time when farming and household chores were integral parts of everyday existence. The mother can be seen nearby, supervising her children while tending to other housework responsibilities. It is evident that this close-knit family relies on each other to sustain their livelihoods. The dry summer landscape adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing the importance of access to water during this era. With great effort, using a hoist system and buckets attached to ropes, they draw precious water from deep within the well. Through this wood engraving by The Granger Collection, we are reminded of simpler times when hard work was essential for survival. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of middle-class life in 19th-century England – where families relied on one another and nature's resources for sustenance amidst picturesque countryside surroundings.
