A simple, yet essential item lies before her: a kettle, its metal handle steaming hot from recently boiling water. The woman, dressed in a long, flowing shawl and a practical skirt, reaches for a small, round cloth piece from a basket beside her. This humble fabric holder, a common household item in the early 20th century, is her solution to prevent burns when handling the kettle. The bustling West End of London, with its horse-drawn cabs and passersby, serves as the backdrop to this quiet moment. The woman's dedication to creating these kettle holders is evident in the numerous finished pieces that fill a bag at her feet. Her deft hands, nimble fingers, and unwavering focus demonstrate her skill and expertise in crafting these essential protectors. The photograph captures a glimpse into the daily life of a dedicated artisan, whose small yet significant creations brought comfort and safety to countless households.
