EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of community and daily life in early 20th century London. The ratcatcher, dressed in his traditional leather apron and hat, goes about his important yet unglamorous task with the help of his loyal and attentive dog. The dog, with its keen senses and sharp instincts, plays a crucial role in detecting and locating rats, making the ratcatcher's job more efficient. The ratcatcher, a familiar figure in London's streets, provided an essential service to the community, helping to keep homes and businesses free from the destructive and disease-carrying rodents. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a reminder of the vital role that local services and tradespeople played in maintaining the health and wellbeing of urban communities. The image, taken in 1910, is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of Londoners, who adapted to the challenges of city living in innovative ways. The photograph also highlights the strong bond between the ratcatcher and his dog, a partnership that was essential for the successful execution of their work. Overall, this image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the daily life and community of London over a century ago.
