This ambrotype photograph, taken in the 1850s-60s, showcases a skilled slate roofer proudly holding his essential tools - a slate hammer and iron bar. The anonymous creator of this image perfectly captures the essence of American craftsmanship during the 19th century. Dressed in typical Victorian attire, the roofer's clothing reflects both practicality and style. His waistcoat and hat add an air of professionalism to his occupation, while also hinting at the country's fashion trends of that era. The location remains unknown, but it is evident that this hardworking individual is dedicated to his craft. With a determined expression on his face, he stands confidently beside a stack of slates ready for installation on roofs across America. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this ambrotype offers us a glimpse into an important profession from our nation's past.
