EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "People and dogcart, Antwerp, 1898" captures a nostalgic scene from the late 19th century in Belgium. The artist behind this remarkable print is James Batkin, who skillfully documented everyday life through his lens. In the image, we see a Belgian woman standing beside a charming dogcart filled with milk churns. This beast of burden was an essential mode of transportation during that era. A loyal canine companion sits proudly on top of the cart, adding to the charm and character of the scene. The setting appears to be a quiet country road in Antwerp, with lush greenery framing the composition. Two men can be seen in conversation nearby while another gentleman stands by observing. It's fascinating how this single snapshot offers us glimpses into different aspects of society at that time. James Batkin's mastery lies not only in capturing these ordinary moments but also in immortalizing them through his photographic artistry. His monochrome technique adds depth and texture to every detail within the frame. As we admire this vintage print today, it serves as a window into history—a testament to how people lived their lives over a century ago. Through Batkin's lens, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carts were commonplace and daily routines revolved around simple pleasures like transporting milk across town. This photograph is part of an extensive collection taken by James Batkin during his travels throughout Holland and Belgium—an invaluable record that allows us to appreciate our
