This simple yet vital task was carried out diligently by individuals like him, ensuring that streets and homes were illuminated during dark hours.
The series of prints from this century shed light on an industry that played a crucial role in society's functioning. The 17th-century setting adds an extra layer of authenticity to the scene, making it feel as though we are witnessing history unfold before our eyes.
