EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily routine of a Dustman, or refuse collector, named Petherick, as he makes his way through the bustling streets of London around 1870. Dressed in a tattered and soot-stained outfit, Petherick calls out to householders to bring out their rubbish for collection. With a determined look in his eyes and a firm grip on the handles of his cart, he appears to be a seasoned professional, accustomed to the gritty realities of urban life. The scene is set against a backdrop of narrow, cobblestone streets, lined with quaint, red-brick buildings and the occasional horse-drawn carriage. The air is thick with the smell of coal smoke and the sounds of children playing and vendors hawking their wares. The image offers a glimpse into the historical industry of waste collection, which was an essential yet often overlooked aspect of urban life during this period. The Dustman's cart, piled high with sacks and various types of refuse, is a testament to the sheer volume of waste generated in London during the late 19th century. The image also highlights the importance of community in managing the city's waste, as householders were responsible for bringing their rubbish to the curb for collection. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable historical record of the daily life and industry of London during the Victorian era. It offers a fascinating insight into the role of the Dustman and the waste collection industry, which played a crucial role in maintaining the health and cleanliness of the city.
