EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of a female cobbler or shoe repairer in early 19th century Paris. Dressed in a grey dress with a black apron and white collar, she exudes an air of professionalism and dedication to her craft. The delicate details of her attire, from the intricate lace on her collar to the practicality of her apron, showcase the artistry and skill required for such a trade. In her hands, she holds a shoe horn, an essential tool for any shoemaker. This simple yet indispensable instrument symbolizes not only her expertise but also the care and precision with which she approaches each pair of shoes entrusted to her. The artist has beautifully captured the grace and poise of this tradeswoman, highlighting both her femininity and strength. The soft hues used in the handcolouring process add depth and warmth to the scene, bringing it to life before our eyes. As we gaze upon this image from "Ouvrieres de Paris" (Tradeswomen of Paris), we are transported back in time to an era when skilled labor was valued and respected. This print serves as a reminder of the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes, ensuring that people walked comfortably in their shoes.
