Master Tape, the Tailor's Son
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating image from the "Happy Families" series, a popular Victorian card game devised by English publisher Mr. Jacques in 1861. This photograph, taken around the same year, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a tailor's workshop during the Victorian era. At the center of the image stands a young boy, identified as "Master Tape," the tailor's son. He is dressed in a simple yet elegant costume, consisting of a white shirt, a dark waistcoat, and a pair of trousers. The boy's attire reflects the high-quality clothing manufactured in the tailor's shop. Surrounding Master Tape are various tools and materials used in the tailoring trade. A large spool of tape sits on the table next to him, likely used for measuring and fitting garments. A pair of scissors rests nearby, ready for use in cutting fabric. The presence of these tools underscores the importance of precision and accuracy in the tailoring profession. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the workshop is further emphasized by the natural light streaming in through the window, casting a soft glow on the scene. The wooden shelves and tables, filled with rolls of fabric and finished garments, speak to the hard work and dedication of the tailor and his son. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian-era tailoring, showcasing the importance of family, craftsmanship, and tradition in the manufacture of fine clothing. The image is a testament to the rich history of the tailoring industry and the role it played in shaping the fashion landscape of the 19th century.
