EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of an Old French Water Carrier from Morlaix, Brittany, skillfully balancing a wooden water carrier on his head while taking a moment to enjoy a pipe. Dating back to the 1910s, this traditional Breton figure is a testament to the region's rich cultural heritage. The Old French Water Carrier, dressed in his traditional costume, is seen carrying a large, wooden trough balanced on his head, with a smaller bucket suspended from each end. The trough is used to transport water from the well or spring to homes and farms in the region. The man's hands are free to hold the pipe, which he smokes with a calm and contented expression. The Old French Water Carrier's role was once a common sight in rural Brittany, but with the advent of modern technology and the decline of traditional farming practices, this once ubiquitous figure has become a rarity. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the balance, strength, and resilience of the Breton people. The intricately designed costume, featuring a striped shirt, waistcoat, and wide-brimmed hat, adds to the Old French Water Carrier's distinctive appearance. The wooden carrier, with its curved sides and intricate carvings, is a work of art in itself. The trough and buckets are made of sturdy wood, reflecting the rugged terrain and harsh climate of the region. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the traditional way of life in Brittany during the early 20th century. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the simplicity and beauty of rural life, and celebrate the enduring spirit of the Breton people.
