EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print captures a slice of daily life in Brussels, Belgium during the early 1910s. The Flemish Milkmaid with her dog cart is a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era when dog carts were a common sight on the streets, used for delivering milk, bread, and other goods.
The milkmaid stands proudly beside her trusty canine companions, who are harnessed to the cart ready to embark on their delivery route. The scene exudes a sense of simplicity and hard work as the milkmaid prepares to set off on her rounds.
The vibrant colors of gold and green add to the picturesque quality of this snapshot from history. The intricate details captured in this image - from the pails filled with fresh milk to the well-worn harnesses on the dogs - transport us back in time to an age where animal-powered transportation was commonplace.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the important role that animals played in everyday life not so long ago. This print serves as a beautiful tribute to both Belgian heritage and the enduring bond between humans and their loyal animal companions.
