EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Carpenters (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a French School engraving from a private collection. The image itself is a facsimile of a miniature found in the "Chroniques de Hainaut" manuscript, dating back to the 15th century and housed in the Burgundy Library in Brussels. The engraving beautifully illustrates the craftsmanship and industry of carpentry during medieval times. It offers an intriguing glimpse into the construction practices, customs, and dress prevalent during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each figure meticulously depicted engaged in their woodworking tasks. The composition showcases various aspects of carpentry work: houses being built or repaired, wood being shaped and carved by skilled hands, and materials such as firwood and timber being prepared for use as firewood or kindling. This portrayal not only highlights the importance of carpenters but also provides insight into daily life during this period. Through this digitally cleaned image courtesy of Look and Learn's archive collection, we are transported back centuries ago when carpentry played a vital role in shaping communities across Europe. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and skill passed down through generations. This print captures not just an artistic representation but also preserves historical knowledge about construction techniques employed during the Middle Ages. A true treasure for those interested in exploring our architectural heritage!
