EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and feast your eyes on this 17th century image of a hatter at work, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online. Dating back to the intriguing and opulent era of the 17th century, this evocative print showcases the artistry and craftsmanship involved in the manufacture of hats during this period. The hatter, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, is intently focused on his work, his expressive face framed by a pair of full, bushy sideburns and a neatly trimmed beard. His teeth, stained from the constant handling of hat materials, bear testament to the long hours spent perfecting his craft. The hat he is working on is a masterpiece in its own right, with its high, rounded crown and wide brim adorned with intricate ribbon and feather embellishments. The hatmaking process was a labor-intensive one, requiring the use of various materials such as beaver fur felt, rabbit skin, and horsehair. The hatter's skillful hands deftly shape and manipulate these materials, transforming them into the elegant and sophisticated headpieces that were the height of fashion during the 17th century. This print offers a unique glimpse into the world of 17th century hatmaking, a time when the art of hatmaking was an essential part of the fashion industry and a source of pride and livelihood for skilled craftsmen like this hatter. With its rich historical context and intricate details, this print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in costume, clothing, or the history of craftsmanship.
