EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print captures a moment frozen in time from the year 1900. Titled "The Ostler, from Four and Twenty Toilers" this colour lithograph is accompanied by verse written by E. V. Lucas, adding an extra layer of depth to the image. In this Edwardian scene, we see a young child bidding farewell to a departing ostler or stablehand. Dressed in traditional Victorian attire with leather gaiters adorning his legs, the worker stands beside a horse-drawn cart outside an inn. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as the ostler prepares for his journey. The artist behind this masterpiece is Francis Donkin Bedford (1864-1954), known for his ability to capture historical moments through art. With meticulous attention to detail, Bedford brings life to every aspect of this labourer's trade. As we gaze at this print, we can't help but feel connected to the past and reflect on the hard work and dedication that went into everyday tasks during that era. The waving child symbolizes both gratitude for the service provided by workers like the ostler and perhaps also a sense of longing as they depart on their journey. This print serves as a reminder of our shared history and pays tribute to those who have tirelessly worked before us. It invites us to appreciate not only their physical labor but also their contribution towards shaping society as we know it today.
