EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph, titled "The Dairyman" captures a scene from the early 20th century. Published in 1900 as part of the collection "Four and Twenty Toilers" this print showcases the skilled craftsmanship of Francis Donkin Bedford. Accompanied by verse written by E. V. Lucas, it offers a glimpse into the daily life of an Edwardian dairy worker. In this image, we see a bustling workshop filled with various tools and equipment associated with milk production. A male dairyman stands at the forefront, wearing traditional work attire and holding a yoke across his shoulders to balance two large pails filled with fresh milk. His hardworking female counterpart can be seen nearby, diligently collecting more buckets while accompanied by her loyal feline companion. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element in this composition reflects the meticulous labour involved in producing high-quality dairy products during that era. The artist's skillful use of colours brings vibrancy to each object - from bowls to brooms - creating an atmosphere that transports us back in time. "The Dairyman" serves as a testament to both Victorian-era trade practices and Edwardian work ethics. It reminds us of the dedication required for such manual labour, highlighting how these workers played an essential role in providing sustenance for their communities. As part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this print preserves not only artistic excellence but also historical significance. It allows us to appreciate the forgotten tradesmen who contributed immensely towards shaping our
