1857 Client Customer Grooms Servants Yard Ostler
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, entitled "Ostler and Client," captures a moment in time from the year 1857, offering a glimpse into the daily life of an English inn yard. The image features an ostler, a servant responsible for the care of horses at an inn, and one of his customers. The ostler, dressed in the traditional livery of the time, is seen in the foreground, intently examining the horse's hooves, while his client, casually dressed and leaning against a fence, watches the proceedings with an air of satisfaction. Surrounding them, the inn yard comes alive with the hustle and bustle of other servants and grooms, all attending to their various duties. Horses stand tethered, their steamy breaths visible in the cool air, while the clatter of hooves and the sound of voices fill the scene. The atmosphere is one of industry and efficiency, as the inn's staff go about their work to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of both their human and equine guests. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily routines and interactions of those who worked and traveled in the 19th century. The ostler and his client, along with the other servants and horses, all play their part in the intricate dance of life at the inn, creating a scene that is at once familiar and yet utterly foreign to our modern sensibilities.
