EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily routine of a tankard bearer in 18th century London. The man, dressed in a simple smock and waistcoat, carries a large wooden tub balanced on his shoulders, filled to the brim with water drawn from one of the city's many conduits or pumps. The tankard bearer's role was essential in supplying water to households and businesses, as London's water supply system was not yet advanced enough to deliver water directly to homes. The tankard bearer's day began early, as he made his rounds to various customers, often carrying multiple loads of water in a single day. His work was physically demanding, requiring strength and endurance, but it was also an important source of employment for many men in the city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when water was a precious resource and the tankard bearer played a vital role in ensuring its availability. The image also serves as a reminder of the hard work and dedication that went into providing the basic necessities of life in London during this period. The book in the foreground adds an interesting layer to the scene, suggesting that learning and knowledge were valued even in the most mundane of tasks. The tankard bearer's determination and focus are evident as he sets off on another day of carrying water, demonstrating the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of London during this era.
