EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1884 captures a young woman engrossed in the art of sewing, showcasing the skilled needlework that was considered a suitable and remunerative employment for English women in the 19th century. During this time, depots were established where individuals could send their handcrafted work to be sold, providing an opportunity for women to earn income through their craftsmanship.
The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a working woman in London during the late 19th century, highlighting the importance of sewing as both a practical skill and a means of financial independence. The intricate details of the young woman's stitching demonstrate her dedication to her craft and her commitment to producing high-quality work.
As she sits at her workshop table surrounded by spools of thread and fabric scraps, it is evident that sewing is not just a job for this young woman but also a passion. Her focused expression and precise movements speak volumes about her expertise in needlecraft and her pride in creating beautiful pieces with meticulous attention to detail.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the valuable contributions made by women like her throughout history, whose talent and hard work helped sustain themselves financially while also enriching their communities with their creativity.
