EDITORS COMMENTS
Cries of London: Old Water Carrier (Any New-River water here? - Old Water Carrier, 1827) by Terry Parker, captured through the lens of Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a compelling snapshot of the 1820s in London. The image showcases an old water carrier, his barrels balanced on a yoke, making his way through a bustling street. The scene is set in the heart of the city, with the cries of the water carrier echoing through the narrow alleyways, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during this era. The Old Water Carrier is an essential figure in the urban landscape, supplying fresh water to households and businesses from the New River, a man-made watercourse that ran from Hertfordshire to London. The water was transported through a network of canals and aqueducts, and the carriers played a crucial role in delivering it to the city's residents. The photograph captures the raw energy and physicality of the water carrier's work, as he strains under the weight of his barrels, his face etched with determination and focus. The image also highlights the unique utilities and trades that defined the urban fabric of London during this period, with the water carrier joining the ranks of other iconic figures such as the fishwife, the chimney sweep, and the costermonger. The Old Water Carrier image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of Londoners during the 1820s, as they navigated the challenges of urban living and relied on each other to survive. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape London's identity today.
