EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of block making in Wilmington, Kent during the 1930s. In this image, we see Mr E G Hitchens, a skilled blockmaker, diligently at work in his workshop on 27 April 1939. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us back to a bygone era between the wars. With his glasses perched on his nose and a distinguished moustache adorning his face, Mr Hitchens epitomizes the craftsmanship of this era. His focused expression reveals years of experience as he meticulously carves patterns and designs onto wooden blocks using hammers and chisels. The workshop itself is filled with an array of tools that speak to the dedication and precision required for this craft. Each tool tells its own story – worn from countless hours spent perfecting each piece created by Mr Hitchens' skilled hands. This photograph not only showcases the artistry involved in block making but also serves as a testament to European craftsmanship during this period. It offers us a glimpse into an industry where attention to detail was paramount and creativity flourished within every stroke of the hammer or chisel. John Topham's lens has immortalized this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate both the skill of Mr E G Hitchens and the beauty found within traditional crafts like block making.
