EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Milkman, No Water And Good Measure" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of home deliveries and Victorian trades. The image showcases an English milkman in his distinctive uniform, complete with brass accessories, as he goes about his daily task of delivering fresh milk to households. The pale-faced vendor is seen pouring milk from a jug into a customer's container, ensuring good measure and quality service. This snapshot captures the essence of a bygone era when personal relationships between customers and vendors were paramount. The scarcity of water during this time period is subtly hinted at in the title "No Water And Good Measure" suggesting that even without access to abundant resources, this diligent milkman still managed to provide his customers with their much-needed beverage. The composition exudes nostalgia and evokes feelings of simplicity and authenticity. It reminds us of a time when food quality was valued above all else and occupations like that of the milkman held great importance within society. This remarkable print offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also serves as a historical document preserving the memory of an essential trade from days gone by.
