EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily life of two Venetian water carriers in the 1870s, as they make their way through the winding streets of Venice, Italy, laden with their heavy metal buckets balanced precariously on their shoulders. The women wear traditional costumes, with their long, flowing skirts and white blouses, adorned with intricate lace collars and cuffs. The wooden yoke, or "mangato," rests comfortably on their shoulders, distributing the weight of the water evenly. The Venetian water carriers were an essential part of the community, supplying fresh water to households and businesses throughout the city. The water was drawn from the canals or wells, and carried to the customers' homes in the metal buckets. The carriers would often make multiple trips a day, covering great distances on foot. The image is a poignant reminder of the hard work and dedication of these women, who played a vital role in the daily life of Venice. The photograph also showcases the unique and intricate details of their traditional costumes, which have long been a source of fascination for visitors to the city. The scene is further enhanced by the atmospheric setting, with the faded colors and textures of the buildings and the reflections of the water in the buckets, creating a timeless and enchanting image of Venice in the late 19th century.
