EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Going to the Well" transports us back in time to North Africa in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published in The Illustrated London News on August 14,1897, beautifully captures a scene of everyday life. In this image, we see a group of women elegantly dressed in traditional attire as they make their way towards the well. Each woman carries a water jug upon her head with remarkable balance and grace. Their vibrant clothing reflects the rich cultural heritage of North Africa while also showcasing the fashionable trends of that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts not only the women but also their surroundings. We can almost feel the scorching desert heat and hear whispers carried by gentle winds through palm trees lining their path. Woodville's engraving offers us a glimpse into an ancient practice that has been passed down through generations – fetching water from wells. It serves as a reminder of how essential water is for survival and how communities have relied on such sources throughout history. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and its historical significance. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection with nature, tradition, and culture while marveling at these women's strength and resilience.
