EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th century print captures the daily routine of two cordwainers, or rope makers, at work. Dressed in traditional attire, the artisans are deeply concentrated as they wind the twisted fibres of hemp or flax ropes. The intricate process of rope making involved careful selection and preparation of raw materials, followed by twisting and laying the fibres in a specific pattern to create a strong and durable rope. The image offers a glimpse into the world of the rope industry during this period, which was a significant contributor to the economy and maritime trade. Ropes were essential for securing ships, fishing, and various other industrial applications. The cordwainers' skill and dedication were vital to ensuring the production of high-quality ropes that met the demands of their customers. The print also highlights the collaborative nature of the craft, with the two cordwainers working together to wind the fibres. This partnership not only facilitated the efficient production of ropes but also fostered a sense of community and camaraderie among the artisans. The intricate details of the print, from the textured clothing and tools to the carefully rendered ropes, offer a rich and immersive portrayal of the 17th century rope making industry. This image not only showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the cordwainers but also provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the importance of this once-thriving occupation.
