EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the bustling streets of Swansea during the 19th century. The drawing by Durand Brager, featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1865, beautifully illustrates a visit to the major factories in Wales in 1862. In this particular scene, we witness a family rag trade taking place on the busy streets of Swansea. A man and his young son are depicted as they engage in their daily labor. The father is seen playing a musical instrument while pushing a barrow filled with rags, symbolizing their trade. Meanwhile, the child attentively observes his father's work. The engraving not only highlights the industrious nature of British society during that era but also sheds light on the importance of street trades for many families at that time. It offers us a glimpse into their lives and serves as an invaluable historical document. Preserved within Leonard de Selva's private collection, this artwork stands as a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us of how far we have come since those days. As we gaze upon this image, let us appreciate the resilience and determination displayed by these individuals who played vital roles in shaping our industrial past.
