EDITORS COMMENTS
A Young Indian Cobbler at Work" (circa 1903): A captivating snapshot of a young Indian cobbler intently focused on his craft, this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of an itinerant shoemaker during the early 1900s. The cobbler, likely a boy or young man, sits on a low stool in the middle of a bustling street, surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of urban India. He wears a simple cap and a loose-fitting shirt, his lean frame betraying his youthfulness. In front of him, a pair of worn-out boots rests on a makeshift workbench, their laces untied and ready for repair. The cobbler holds a hammer in one hand and a pair of pliers in the other, his eyes fixed on the boots as he carefully hammers away at the leather. The tools of his trade – a mallet, awl, and various other implements – are scattered around him, evidence of the countless repairs he has made and the many more to come. The cobbler's job was a common sight in Indian streets during this era, as people relied on itinerant shoemakers to mend their footwear. This photograph not only showcases the importance of such skilled labor but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the young cobbler, who, despite his humble circumstances, is fully engaged in his work and determined to provide for himself and perhaps his family. This evocative image, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a poignant reminder of the past and the simple yet essential nature of work, even in the most unlikely of settings.
