EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Basket Maker," is taken from the "Book of Trades," published in 1841. The photograph showcases the dedication and skill of a workman in the art of basket making during the early Victorian era. The 1840s were a time when various trades were documented through illustrations, providing a glimpse into the daily lives and professions of the working class. The basket maker, with his focused expression and deft hands, is engrossed in his work, expertly weaving wicker to create a beautiful and functional basket. The intricacy of the wickerwork is evident in the image, with each piece carefully intertwined to form a seamless and durable structure. The man's attire, consisting of a simple smock and trousers, reflects the practical nature of his trade. The "Book of Trades" series aimed to provide an accurate record of various trades and occupations, offering insight into the tools, techniques, and skills required for each profession. This photograph of "The Basket Maker" is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship involved in the creation of baskets, an essential item in everyday life during the 1840s. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of skilled labor and the beauty that can be found in the simplest of trades.
