EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1887 depicts a young woman delicately tuning a grand piano, showcasing the unique occupation that was considered suitable for women who were forced to earn a living during this time period. In an era where opportunities for women in the workforce were limited, piano tuning provided a respectable and artistic outlet for those seeking employment. The image captures the young woman's focused expression as she carefully adjusts the keys of the grand piano, highlighting her skill and dedication to her craft. The intricate details of the wood engraving bring to life the beauty and complexity of both the instrument and its tuner. Piano tuning required not only technical expertise but also a keen ear for music, making it a challenging yet rewarding profession for women looking to support themselves financially. This print serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of women throughout history who defied societal expectations to pursue their passions and make their mark in male-dominated fields. As we admire this historical artwork, let us celebrate the legacy of trailblazing women like the one depicted here, whose talents transcended gender norms and paved the way for future generations of female musicians and artisans.
