EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "The Trowel" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing a French educational card. The image depicts a skilled bricklayer diligently at work, highlighting the importance of craftsmanship and trade in society. The bricklayer is seen holding his trusty trowel, an essential tool in his line of work. With precision and expertise, he carefully lays bricks on a wall, creating a solid structure with mortar. This scene symbolizes the construction industry's vital role in building strong foundations for communities. Interestingly, this artwork also features an unexpected twist - an advertisement for Chocolat Guerin Boutron. Nestled within the composition is a sweet shop selling delectable chocolates made from rich milk chocolate and sugar. This juxtaposition between laborious construction work and indulgent treats adds an element of surprise to the piece. "The Trowel" not only celebrates hardworking tradesmen but also reminds us that even amidst demanding jobs, there is always room for joy and pleasure. It serves as a reminder that everyone deserves moments of delight after their dedicated efforts. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical gem from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance.
