EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Rat Catcher with his Servant, Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter" captured by Quint Lox, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Leiden or Amsterdam. The image showcases a peculiar duo - the rat catcher and his loyal servant. Dressed in a striking pied piper attire, the rat catcher commands attention as he stands tall with an air of confidence. His eyes gleam with determination as he holds various tools of his trade - a staff, cage, and bag for capturing those pesky rodents that plague the city's inhabitants. By his side stands Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter, a young boy who serves as both assistant and apprentice to the skilled exterminator. With an expression filled with curiosity and admiration for his master's expertise, Dirk carries a small chest containing additional weapons for their mission. The composition is rich in detail; from the intricate patterns on their mantles to the rats scurrying around them - it all adds depth to this intriguing scene. The presence of a dog further emphasizes their partnership in combating these vermin infestations. This print from Liszt Collection not only captures an important aspect of urban life during that era but also offers us glimpses into unique professions often overlooked in historical narratives. It invites viewers to ponder upon the challenges faced by these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to maintain cleanliness and hygiene within cities like Leiden or Amsterdam.
