EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century trade card depicts John Hunt, the successor to the late Mr. Ino. Brook, proudly showcasing his roles as both Nightman and Rubbish Carter. The image captures Hunt standing next to his horses and cart, located near the Wagon and Horses Inn in Goswell Street, close to Mount Mill. The nighttime setting, illuminated by the soft glow of the moon, adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene. John Hunt's dual professions were essential services in 18th century London. As a Nightman, he was responsible for collecting and disposing of human waste from privy pots and chamber pots in the homes and streets of the city. The Rubbish Carter role involved collecting and transporting household waste, including food scraps and other discarded items, to disposal sites. The image of Hunt and his horses, with their large containers in tow, conveys the hard work and dedication required to carry out these essential services. The trade card also serves as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of the time, as Hunt presents himself as a one-stop solution for both night soil and rubbish removal. The card's design is simple yet effective, with Hunt's name and titles prominently displayed, along with his location and the image of his horses and cart. The use of the moon as a backdrop adds a touch of romance and nostalgia to the scene, making this trade card a fascinating glimpse into the past and the important role that tradesmen like John Hunt played in the daily life of 18th century London.
