EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ancient tools are used in an ancient but dying craft" we witness the remarkable skill and dedication of Mr. Bill Dobson, a seasoned cooper aged 62. With 47 years of experience under his belt, he brings forth his expertise to breathe life into a wooden barrel at a firm on Newcastle Quayside. The image transports us back to the 1960s, where traditional craftsmanship thrived amidst rapid industrialization. As we delve deeper into the frame, our eyes are drawn to the assortment of weathered tools that have witnessed countless barrels taking shape over time. These ancient instruments serve as a testament to both their enduring quality and Dobson's unwavering commitment. It is evident that this craft holds immense historical significance; however, it also bears witness to its gradual decline in modern times. The artistry involved in coopering has become increasingly rare as mass production techniques take precedence. Yet here stands Mr. Dobson, preserving this fading tradition with every measured stroke and precise cut. This photograph encapsulates not only the physical act of crafting barrels but also symbolizes resilience and perseverance against an ever-changing world. It serves as a poignant reminder of how essential it is for us to appreciate these dwindling occupations that once formed the backbone of our communities. NCJ's Memory Lane Prints capture moments like these – frozen fragments from bygone eras that invite us to reflect upon our heritage and cherish those who dedicated their lives to such timeless crafts.
