The artistry of a basket maker is beautifully captured in this collection of images and depictions. From the serene scene of a basket maker weaving a basket from willow to the vibrant oil painting titled "The Basketmaker, c. 1925, " we are transported into the world of this skilled craftsperson. Intriguingly, a screen depicting the four classes of Edo Japan from 1893 includes references to the profession of basket making. This highlights its significance within society during that time period. The engravings "The Basket-Maker" and "Our Blind Basket-Maker" further emphasize the diversity within this occupation, showcasing different individuals who have mastered their trade despite their circumstances. Le Vocabulaire Illustre provides us with an engraving that showcases various tools and techniques employed by these artisans across cultures. It serves as a testament to their expertise and dedication in creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing baskets. Moving back in time, we encounter an enchanting chromolitho depicting professions from Chartres Cathedral in France during the 13th century. Among them is a depiction of a basket maker, reminding us that this ancient craft has been passed down through generations. Delving deeper into history, we discover artifacts such as the Basket Makers Splint Gauge from 1939 created by Clarence Secor. This tool symbolizes precision and attention to detail necessary for crafting high-quality baskets. Two captivating photographs taken by Peter Henry Emerson capture both rural and urban aspects of basket making during late 19th-century England. These images offer glimpses into the lives and work environments of these talented makers. Lastly, John Fisk's photograph titled "Basket Makers Store" takes us inside an actual shop dedicated to selling baskets circa 1936. It serves as evidence not only of demand for these products but also how they were valued commodities at that time. From traditional trades depicted on stained glass windows to modern-day photographs, the art of basket making has stood the test of time.
