EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate art of picture frame gilding. The engraving, created by an English School artist, beautifully captures the essence of this skilled profession. In a bustling workshop filled with various tools and implements, we see a group of dedicated workmen engrossed in their craft. Each individual is meticulously focused on their task, using a range of specialized instruments to create stunning frames fit for treasured artworks. The scene is filled with an array of fascinating objects - from chisels and knives to gold leaf boxes and miniature burnishers. Every tool has its purpose in this trade; no detail is overlooked when it comes to perfecting these ornate frames. A small pencil rests on a cushion nearby, ready for marking precise measurements. A feather duster delicately sweeps away any excess debris while a badger tool ensures smooth application of gold leaf onto the frames. Amidst this labor-intensive process, one can almost feel the passion and dedication that goes into each piece. It's evident that being a picture frame gilder was not just an occupation but also an art form in itself during Victorian times. This evocative print serves as both a historical document and an homage to those who mastered this unique trade. It reminds us of the craftsmanship that once went into every aspect of manufacturing before modern technology took over – truly capturing the spirit of 19th-century industries.
