EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful copperplate engraving, titled "Examples of Joinery," is an exquisite illustration from Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown in 1820. The engraving showcases various intricate examples of joinery, including wooden doors and windows, which were essential elements of carpentry during the 19th century. Joinery refers to the art and technique of constructing frames, doors, windows, and other architectural elements from wood. The engraving illustrates the precision and craftsmanship required to create these functional and decorative pieces. The doors depicted in the engraving exhibit a range of designs, from simple paneled doors to more elaborate ones with intricate moldings and glass inserts. The windows, too, display various styles, from casement windows with crank-out mechanisms to sash windows with sliding panes. The copperplate engraving process involved creating an image on a copper plate using a sharp tool, such as a burin or graver, and then inking and printing the image onto paper. The result is a highly detailed and accurate representation of the original subject matter. In this case, the artist, Wilson Lowry, has captured the essence of joinery with remarkable skill and precision. The historical significance of this engraving lies in its documentation of the joinery techniques and designs popular during the early 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating the functional and decorative wooden doors and windows of the time. Today, this engraving serves as an inspiration for modern carpenters and woodworkers, reminding us of the rich history and tradition of joinery.
