EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Brickmaker" takes us back in time to witness the manual labor and craftsmanship involved in brickmaking. The image showcases a bustling scene within a brickfield, where skilled workmen are diligently engaged in their trade. In the foreground, we see two workers meticulously molding clay into bricks using traditional tools such as picks, shovels, and stockboards. Their expertise is evident as they carefully shape each individual brick before placing them on a board for transportation. The backdrop reveals a busy construction site with various structures including sheds and kilns used for baking the bricks. The industrious atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of other workers carrying bricks or operating machinery like pug mills and hack barrows. This print not only captures the physicality of this occupation but also highlights its significance during Victorian times when building projects were booming. It serves as a testament to the hardworking individuals who contributed to shaping cities with their hands-on skills. Displayed against a neutral background, this historical artwork allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind engraving techniques of that era and gain insight into an essential industry from our past.
