Description: 'Waterman to a Coach Stand' - Hand coloured aquatint from 'The Costume of Great Britain' (1808), a book containing 60 images of people at work and scenes of everyday life. The image shows a man carrying two large buckets of water for horses to drink, with a line of coaches parked behind him. William H Pyne (1769-1843), the son of a London weaver who became an artist and writer, was commisioned to write and illustrate the book by the publisher, William Miller of Albermarle Street, London. The first edition was printed in 1804, but the edition from which this coloured plate was taken was published in 1808. The illustrations are particularly notable as they portray British life on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.
