Step into the world of metalworkers, where craftsmanship and artistry intertwine to create masterpieces that withstand the test of time. In 1903, two skilled blacksmiths meticulously forge a metal hoop, their rhythmic strikes resonating with centuries-old traditions. The wagon wheel they are crafting will carry stories along dusty roads for generations to come. Across the globe in Baghdad, Iraq, a hardware shop bustles with activity as Thomas Pickett's London Trade Card proudly hangs on its walls. A brasier by trade, Pickett's expertise is sought after by locals seeking quality metalwork. Traveling back in time to 1543, we witness Enea Vico's portrayal of Vulcan at his fiery forge. Venus and Mars embrace amidst sparks flying from molten metals - a testament to the power and allure of this ancient craft. Charles Sprague Pearce captures the essence of an Arab jeweler in ca. 1882; his hands delicately shaping precious metals into intricate designs that adorn royalty and commoners alike. Fast forward to 1942 in Inglewood, California - North American Aviation Inc. 's bustling factory floor showcases workers carefully placing metal parts on masonite boards under Alfred T Palmer's watchful lens. Each piece contributes to aircraft that soar through skies with strength and precision. Jost Ammon immortalizes Wenzel Jamnitzer in his study during 1572-75; surrounded by tools and sketches, he epitomizes dedication and innovation as one of history's greatest goldsmiths. Donald Shaw MacLaughlan transports us to a coppersmith workshop in 1900; bathed in warm light filtering through windows adorned with copper creations, artisans shape raw materials into functional works of art.
