EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Watercarrier with his license GR 198 (Georgius Rex)" offers a rare and convincing view of the working classes in Great Britain during the early 19th century. The image, captured by William Henry Pyne, showcases an English watercarrier going about his daily profession. Dressed in a traditional Georgian costume, the watercarrier dons an apron and carries two pails filled with fresh water. His license, prominently displayed as GR 198 (Georgius Rex), signifies his official authorization to carry out this essential occupation. This snapshot provides valuable insight into the livelihoods and occupations of individuals who formed the backbone of society at that time. Pyne's color lithograph beautifully highlights every detail of this scene, from the worker's dress to his determined expression. Published by William Miller and now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this artwork captures not only historical significance but also artistic excellence. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and how these hardworking individuals played vital roles in their communities. Let us appreciate their dedication and contribution to society while acknowledging their struggles and triumphs through time-honored professions like that of this diligent watercarrier.
